The rflink cover platform supports devices that use RFLink gateway firmware, for example the Nodo RFLink Gateway. RFLink gateway is an Arduino firmware that allows two-way communication with a multitude of RF wireless devices using cheap hardware (Arduino + transceiver).
First you have to set up your rflink hub.
-The RFLink component does not know the difference between a switch and a light. Therefore all switchable devices are automatically added as light by default.
RFLink switch/light/cover ID’s are composed of: protocol, id, switch. For example: newkaku_0000c6c2_1.
Once the ID of a switch is known it can be used to configure it as a switch type in HA, for example to add it to a different group, hide it or configure a nice name.
-To add RFLink to your installation, add the following to your Home Assistant configuration.yaml file:

First, you have to set up your rflink hub.
+After configuring the RFLink hub covers will be automatically discovered and added. Except the Somfy RTS devices.
+You have to add the Somfy RTS manually with the supplied RFlinkLoader (Windows only).
+Press the Learn button on the original Somfy remote enter the following code within 3 seconds. Your blinds will go up and down shortly:
+10;RTS;02FFFF;0412;3;PAIR;
+Your blinds will go up and down again. This means your Rflink is now paired with your RTS motor. +To check this enter the following code again and see if there is a record.
+10;RTSSHOW;
+RTS Record: 0 Address: FFFFFF RC: FFFF
+RTS Record: 1 Address: FFFFFF RC: FFFF
+RTS Record: 2 Address: FFFFFF RC: FFFF
+RTS Record: 3 Address: 02FFFF RC: 0018
+RTS Record: 4 Address: FFFFFF RC: FFFF
+RTS Record: 5 Address: FFFFFF RC: FFFF
+RTS Record: 6 Address: FFFFFF RC: FFFF
+RTS Record: 7 Address: FFFFFF RC: FFFF
+RTS Record: 8 Address: FFFFFF RC: FFFF
+RTS Record: 9 Address: FFFFFF RC: FFFF
+RTS Record: 10 Address: FFFFFF RC: FFFF

+RTS Record: 13 Address: FFFFFF RC: FFFF
+RTS Record: 14 Address: FFFFFF RC: FFFF
+RTS Record: 15 Address: FFFFFF RC: FFFF
+After configuring the RFLink Somfy RTS you have to add the cover to the configuration.yaml file like any other RFlink device.
RFLink cover ID’s are composed of: protocol, id, and gateway. For example: RTS_0100F2_0.
Once the ID of a cover is known, it can be used to configure the cover in Home Assistant, for example, to add it to a different group, hide it or set a nice name.
+Assigning a name to a cover:
