RaspyRFM
The raspyrfm
integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more. [Learn more] adds support for cheap RC 433 MHz outlets via one of the supported gateways.
Initially, this integration was created to support the Simple Solutions ConnAir
gateway which has been discontinued. There are custom alternatives that reimplemented the protocol used by the ConnAir gateway like this ConnAir emulator
Other vendors of 433 MHz RC outlets have also created gateways that use a very similar protocol and can also be used with this integration like the Intertechno ITGW-433 LAN Gateway
Configuration
To use the RaspyRFM integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more. [Learn more] in your installation, add it to your configuration.yaml
The configuration.yaml file is the main configuration file for Home Assistant. It lists the integrations to be loaded and their specific configurations. In some cases, the configuration needs to be edited manually directly in the configuration.yaml file. Most integrations can be configured in the UI. [Learn more] file.
After changing the configuration.yaml
The configuration.yaml file is the main configuration file for Home Assistant. It lists the integrations to be loaded and their specific configurations. In some cases, the configuration needs to be edited manually directly in the configuration.yaml file. Most integrations can be configured in the UI. [Learn more] file, restart Home Assistant to apply the changes. The integration is now shown on the integrations page under Settings > Devices & services. Its entities are listed on the integration card itself and on the Entities tab.
# Example configuration.yaml entry
switch:
platform: raspyrfm
switches:
- controlunit_manufacturer: Intertechno
controlunit_model: CMR 1000
channel_config: # Note that keys used here vary between control units
master: A
slave: 1
Device support

Channel configuration
Depending on the control unit the channel configuration can have varying formats. Have a look at the underlying library raspyrfm-client
Switch state
Initially, the state of a switch is unknown. When the switch is turned on or off (via frontend) the state is known and will be shown in the frontend.
Note that due to the way those cheap RC units work it is not possible to query their current state. Therefore the only way to preserve a consistent state within Home Assistant is to only use Home Assistant as the controller.
