My smart home, runs on radio devices that use the same protocol as your garage opener. Radio frequency (RF) signals are emitted on at 433MHz and captured by a receiver. From there it can be further processed by a payload processor and acted upon by the home automation hub. Use cases: Gateway: Acts as a gateway to convert RF codes (or other implementation specific identifier) to native Home Assistant events Schedules: reuse the same RF device (wall panel or remote control) to perform multiple actions depending on some pre-defined schedule Clean & Maintainable: Store all RF specific integer codes in one location and use events as triggers in automations. Post processing: for payloads delivered by Open MQTT Gateway How does the payload processor work? … Continue reading MQTT Payload Processor
