This isn’t strictly a home assistant issue, but my target it to learn the RF commands with home assistant.
I’ve tried both learning the RF commands with my Broadlink RM4 Pro and LinknLink eHub with no luck learning the command with their respective apps. I was able to learn another 433Mhz remote that I have with the apps, but no luck with the new remote.
Any hints would be appreciated on what I can do to learn this new remote.
I have reached out to Broadlink and LinknLink but hope to tap any knowledge others may have.
You didn’t mention what brand of blinds it connected to.
Any mention of FCC IDs anywhere?
Are you able to post clear photos of both sides of the internal circuit board, where the chip numbers are clear to see. There may be a generic chip for transmission, or a specific one linked to a certain protocol.
There were many posts in a couple of threads a few weeks ago doing exactly what you are trying to do. Reverse engineering may be fun if you have the right tools.
ESPHome announced support for the CC1101 recently. This may reduce your futzing time.
Or increase it. Esphome remote receiver supports only ASK/OOK, so trying to receive something else is likely going to be time consuming job if you don’t know all details of the signal/protocol.
And if it’s rolling code, it’s getting very tricky (or impossible).
Just getting a second remote and jumpering the buttons is often a quick and dirty option too. The photos will provide the clues.
Rolling code? A doddle! If you can pair it, you can clone it. Usually.
