Hello.
I have bought a set of 433Mhz wall outlet switches to use with Home assistant.
I already have them working with the RF switch component for RPI.
These particular switches are paired using a remote that came with them.
Now my question is, can i pair them directly with my RPI?
This way i dont need multiple remotes.
I have no idea how RF parring protocols work, but thought it would be nice thing to play with.
If anyone have some insights, or can guide me to a place i can find som information on this, please let me know
Thanks for the reply’s.
Maybe im not being clear.
I can controll the outlets via. my RPI and a transmitter.
My “problem” is that i have a remote with only 5 “channels” on it.
Therefore i can only use 5 diffrent plugs, without getting a new remote, since the Plug and Remote “pairs” and “decide” a code to talk together.
What i would like, is to be able to decide this code WITHOUT the remote.
This way i could press pair on the Socket, and pair it directly with my RPI, and i would be able to have unlimited plugs
But i need to figure out how the remote and plug decide on which codes means what.
(My current setup was made by following the video by BRUH.)
You should take a look to the PiLight software, its fully compatible with HA.
It supports a loot of different 433Mhz protocols, there are differnent types of them, for example switches using pair modes or using DIP switches. With a 433 reciever on your RasPi, you can read out the codes and intigrate then in HA.
Ok I dont want to whitewash, but getting the first switch running is a little pain in the ass. But when it’s running, its perfect. I’m using 10 switches (paring ones and DIPs), its working great.
I use Pilight, but at the moment I get no status update if a light or whatever is set by hand or pilight itself, HASS doesn’t change the status. Has anybody solved that?
