The `rflink` integration supports devices that use [RFLink gateway firmware](https://www.rflink.nl/download.php), for example the [Nodo RFLink Gateway](https://www.nodo-shop.nl/en/21-rflink-). RFLink gateway is an Arduino firmware that allows two-way communication with a multitude of RF wireless devices using cheap hardware (Arduino + transceiver).
## Configuration
First, you have to set up your [RFLink hub](/integrations/rflink/).
After configuring the RFLink hub, sensors will be automatically discovered and added.
RFLink sensor ID's are composed of: protocol, id and type (optional). For example: `alectov1_0334_temp`. Some sensors emit multiple types of data. Each will be created as its own.
Once the ID of a sensor is known, it can be used to configure the sensor in Home Assistant, for example to add it to a different group or configure a nice name.
Configuring a device as a sensor:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: rflink
devices:
alectov1_0334_temp: {}
```
{% configuration %}
automatic_add:
description: Automatically add new/unconfigured devices to Home Assistant if detected.
required: false
default: true
type: boolean
devices:
description: A list of sensors.
required: false
type: list
keys:
rflink_ids:
description: RFLink ID of the device
required: true
type: map
keys:
name:
description: Name for the device.
required: false
default: RFLink ID
type: string
sensor_type:
description: Override automatically detected type of sensor. For list of [values](/integrations/sensor.rflink/#sensors-types) see below.
required: true
type: string
unit_of_measurement:
description: Override automatically detected unit of sensor.
required: false
type: string
aliases:
description: "Alternative RFLink ID's this device is known by."
required: false
type: [list, string]
{% endconfiguration %}
## Sensor types
Sensor type values:
- average_windspeed
- barometric_pressure
- battery
- co2_air_quality
- command
- current_phase_1
- current_phase_2
- current_phase_3
- distance
- doorbell_melody
- firmware
- hardware
- humidity
- humidity_status
- kilowatt
- light_intensity
- meter_value
- noise_level
- rain_rate

- temperature
- timestamp
- total_rain
- uv_intensity
- version
- voltage
- watt
- weather_forecast
- windchill
- winddirection
- windgusts
- windspeed
- windtemp
## Hiding/ignoring sensors
Sensors are added automatically when the RFLink gateway intercepts a wireless command in the ether. To prevent cluttering the frontend use any of these methods:
- Disable automatically adding of unconfigured new sensors (set `automatic_add` to `false`).
- [Ignore devices on a platform level](/integrations/rflink/#ignoring-devices)
## Device support
See [device support](/integrations/rflink/#device-support)
## Additional configuration examples
Multiple sensors with `automatic_add` disabled and `aliases`
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: rflink
automatic_add: false
devices:
oregontemp_0d93_temp:
sensor_type: temperature
oregontemp_0d93_bat:
sensor_type: battery
tunex_c001_temp:
sensor_type: temperature
aliases:
- xiron_4001_temp
tunex_c001_hum:
sensor_type: humidity
aliases:
- xiron_4001_hum
tunex_c001_bat:
sensor_type: battery
aliases:
- xiron_4001_bat
```
