Commands and Events

Component will create Remote entity per RF Bridge - remote.sonoff_1000xxxxxx.

You can receive signals from RF Buttons and RF Sensors through an event sonoff.remote. And send signals using the service remote.send_command.

Although the component supports training, it is recommended to train RF Buttons through the eWeLink application.

When a command is received, the event sonoff.remote is generated with a button number and response time (in UTC, sends the device).

Example for receive all RF signal

automation:
- alias: Sonoff RF Receive
  trigger:
    platform: event
    event_type: sonoff.remote  # this is NOT entity_id, don't change it!
  action:
    service: persistent_notification.create
    data_template:
      title: Sonoff RF Receive
      message: |-
        Name: {{ trigger.event.data.name }}
        Command: {{ trigger.event.data.command }}
        Time: {{ trigger.event.data.ts }}

Example of reaction to the selected button

Instead of a name: Button1, you can use command: 0 number of the button in the eWeLink application (starts from zero).

automation:
- alias: Receive Button1
  trigger:
    platform: event
    event_type: sonoff.remote  # this is NOT entity_id, don't change it!
    event_data:
      name: Button1  # button/sensor name in eWeLink application
  action:
    service: persistent_notification.create
    data:
      message: My Remote button pressed

Example for send RF signal

script:
  send_button1:
    alias: Send RF Button1
    sequence:
    - service: remote.send_command
      data:
        entity_id: remote.sonoff_1000abcdef
        command: Button1  # button name in eWeLink application
