Sonoff bridge, remote and sensors with tasmota

Hi, what I’m asking today is to make things a little tidier, I have a Sonoff bridge rf443 with tasmota (last version) but I don’t know how to configure the 8 keys remotes and the sensors using the tasmota integration.

The bridge was detected by the tasmota integration, but I do not see anywhere the messages from the remote or the sensors, and I am not finding any information about it anywhere.

The ultimate thread about receiving data with the rf bridge:

Sonoff RF Bridge. Strategies for receiving data

Here are two strategies for receiving payloads published by a Sonoff RF Bridge (flashed with Tasmota firmware). Strategy 1: value_template In this strategy, all sensors are subscribed to the same topic published by the RF Bridge. The topic's structure depends on how you defined it when you configured *your* RF Bridge. This example will use `tele/RF_Bridge/RESULT`. Change that to whatever you have set for your Bridge. Because all sensors are subscribed to the same topic, a sensor will receive pa…

After a quick read I gain nothing by using the tasmota integration. I have to solve it from mqtt. Do I understand correctly?

Yes indeed. Tasmota on the RF Bridge with the tasmota integration does not create entities or devices.
The Tasmota integration is still useful to see the online status of your bridge (and RSSI etc…)

Thanks, I was looking some way to configure from the gui, but I will leave the yaml configuration that is working right.

Another question, how should be the correct way to group the sonoff keyboard with the new groups option?
