The `rfxtrx` platform support sensors that communicate in the frequency range of 433.92 MHz.
First you have to set up your [rfxtrx hub](/components/rfxtrx/).
The easiest way to find your sensors is to add this to your `configuration.yaml`:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
platform: rfxtrx
automatic_add: True
```
Then when the sensor emits a signal it will be automatically added:
<p class='img'>
<img src='/images/components/rfxtrx/sensor.png' />
</p>
Here the name is `0a52080000301004d240259` or `0a52080000301004d240259_temperature` and you can verify that it works from the frontend.
Then you should update your configuration to (_temperature is not needed):
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
platform: rfxtrx
devices:
0a52080000301004d240259:
name: device_name
```
If you want to display several data types from one sensor:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
platform: rfxtrx
devices:
0a520802060100ff0e0269:
name: Bath
data_type:
- Humidity
- Temperature
```
Only these data_type are valid :
- *Temperature*
- *Humidity*
- *Barometer*
- *Wind direction*
- *Rain rate*
- *Energy usage*
- *Total usage*
- *Sound*
- *Sensor Status*
- *Counter value*
- *UV*
Example configuration:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
platform: rfxtrx
automatic_add: True
devices:
0a52080705020095220269:
name: Lving
fire_event: True
0a520802060100ff0e0269:
name: Bath
data_type:
- Humidity
- Temperature
```
Configuration variables:
- **devices** (*Optional*): A list of devices with their name to use in the frontend.
- **automatic_add** (*Optional*): To enable the automatic addition of new lights.
- **data_type** (*Optional*): Which data type the sensor should show
- **fire_event** (*Optional*): Fires an event even if the state is the same as before. Can be used for automations.
