++
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:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
