Send RF Bridge commands

Configuration

Hi, I am trying to solve switch configuration for Tasmota RF Bridge. However, this configuration does not send Turn On and Turn Off commands. Can someone help me, please?

Switch config:

- platform: mqtt
  name: "Outlet"
  command_topic: "cmnd/sonoff_RF/RFcode"
  availability_topic: "tele/sonoff_RF/LWT"
  payload_available: "Online"
  payload_not_available: "Offline"
  payload_on: "#E23B04"
  payload_off: "#E23B03"
  optimistic: true
  qos: 1

This is the log from Tasmota Console:

21:43:28 MQT: stat/sonoff_RF/RESULT = {"Command":"Unknown"}
21:43:30 MQT: stat/sonoff_RF/RESULT = {"Command":"Unknown"}
2

Remove the #, also optimistic: true needs to be removed, it throws up a flag.
Here is mine for a door sensor:

  - platform: mqtt
    state_topic: "Bridge/tele/RESULT"
    name: 'Garage Door'
    value_template: '{{value_json.RfReceived.Data}}'
    payload_on: '04ADEE' #Kerui Door
    payload_off: '04ADE7'
    device_class: door
    qos: 1

It still does not work. Now it shows:

07:28:40 MQT: stat/sonoff_RF/RESULT = {"RfCode":0}
07:28:44 MQT: stat/sonoff_RF/RESULT = {"RfCode":0}

With ”#” in the beginning of codes iT shows:

07:36:01 MQT: stat/sonoff_RF/RESULT = {"RfCode":"#E23B04"}
07:36:04 MQT: stat/sonoff_RF/RESULT = {"RfCode":"#E23B03"}

Still does not work.

This is what works for me:

  - platform: mqtt
    name: Colorful Lights
    state_topic: "sonoff_rf_bridge/cmnd/RfCode"
    command_topic: "sonoff_rf_bridge/cmnd/RfCode"
    payload_on: "#3ACC13#"
    payload_off: "#3ACC17#"
    optimistic: false    
    retain: true

I still can’t send the commands to the Bridge RF.

10:55:16 MQT: stat/sonoff_RF/RESULT = {"RfCode":"#E23B04"}
10:55:17 MQT: stat/sonoff_RF/RESULT = {"RfCode":"#E23B03"}

Do you have some other configurations for the switch, maybe a script or automation?

- platform: mqtt
  name: "Pokus"
  command_topic: "cmnd/sonoff_RF/rfcode"
  availability_topic: "tele/sonoff_RF/LWT"
  payload_available: "Online"
  state_topic: "cmnd/sonoff_RF/rfcode"
  payload_not_available: "Offline"
  payload_on: "#F06104#"
  payload_off: "#F06103#"
  optimistic: false
  retain: true

Have you tied with the # at the beginning and the end of payload on/off?

8

Yes, It is the same.

9

Are you sure? I am not able to see it on the log output you posted.

10

Yes, I am sure, it does not show the last # in the LOG.

11

I’ve just took a look on my RF Bridge console and this is what I can see:

19:36:01 SRC: MQTT
19:36:01 RSL: Group 0, Index 1, Command RFCODE, Data #3ACC17#
19:36:01 MQT: sonoff_rf_bridge/stat/RESULT = {"RfCode":"#3ACC17"}
19:36:02 DMP: A0 55

It is also cutting the # from the end of the RFCode but the receiver get it, and do the necessary action.

12

It is weird. I have learned the keys 3 and 4 to send these commands and it works, but when I use “send RfCode” command, it does not work. Is there somebody, who has or had the same problem as me?

13:39:11 MQT: stat/sonoff_RF/RESULT = {"RfKey3":"Learned sent"}
13:39:13 MQT: stat/sonoff_RF/RESULT = {"RfKey4":"Learned sent"}
13

Finally! I have solved it! Yeah :))

This works for me:

- platform: mqtt
  name: "Outlet"
  command_topic: "cmnd/sonoff_RF/Backlog"
  availability_topic: "tele/sonoff_RF/LWT"
  payload_available: "Online"
  payload_not_available: "Offline"
  state_topic: "tele/sonoff_RF/RESULT"
  value_template: '{{value_json.RfCode}}'
  payload_on: "RfSync 12220; RfLow 440; RfHigh 1210; RfCode #F06104"
  payload_off: "RfSync 12220; RfLow 440; RfHigh 1210; RfCode #F06103"
  state_on: "#F06104"
  state_off: "#F06103"
  optimistic: true
  retain: false

Congrats! and thanks for sharing. This got me up and running as well, Thank you!

I’ve mainly been using the Broadlink RM Pro+ but I’m having issues with it losing connectivity and I’m planning to switch to the Sonoff RF Bridge with Tasmota flashed.

So my question is, how does one format a script to send a string of RF command through the RF Bridge?

16

Are you sending that payload_on string to the backlog topic ?

17

Any idea of why mine is not working? I have many RF sensors and they all work with the topic: Home/RF_Bridge/RESULT

However this switch does not send the RF code. Thanks in advance

- name: "TestRF"
      state_topic: "Home/RF_Bridge/RESULT"
      command_topic: "cmnd/RF_Bridge/Backlog"
      availability_topic: "Home/RF_Bridge/LWT"
      payload_on: "RfSync 12220; RfLow 440; RfHigh 1210; RfCode #000001"
      payload_off: "RfSync 12220; RfLow 440; RfHigh 1210; RfCode #00000E"
      state_on: "#000001"
      state_off: "#00000E"
      value_template: "{{ value_json.RfCode }}"
      payload_available: "Online"
      payload_not_available: "Offline"
      optimistic: true
      retain: false

Try this.

mqtt:
  switch:
    - name: TestRF
      icon: mdi:power-socket-eu
      command_topic: "cmnd/RF_Bridge/Backlog"
      payload_on: "RfSync 4650; RfLow 180; RfHigh 430; RfCode #000001"
      payload_off: "RfSync 4650; RfLow 180; RfHigh 430; RfCode #00000E"
      state_on: "#000001"
      state_off: "#00000E" 
      qos: 1
      retain: false
