Right, I’ve struggled the whole of the eastern weekend with this, and (god’s have mercy) I’ve finally got it working.
This is a snippet from my light.yaml
- platform: mqtt
name: “Ledstrip Bureau”
command_topic: cmnd/DVES_DBBF83_fb/backlog
qos: 0
payload_on: “rfraw AAB04C04140122099C04B028DC01020000020002020002000002000202000002000202000200020000020200020000020002000200020002000200020002000200020002020000020002020000020355; rfraw 177”
payload_off: “rfraw AAB04C0414012209A604BA28D201020000020002020002000002000202000002000202000200020000020200020000020002000200020002000200020002000200020002000200020002020000020355; rfraw 177”
Using this I can control the light.turn_on/off service of this device.
Switch’s and sensors probably works the same.
The only problem I currently have is that I have no way of reading the last state, so that I can use the state_topic option of the configuration. I hope that you guys can use this to get your own devices working.
