The `rflink` component support devices that use [RFLink gateway firmware](http://www.nemcon.nl/blog2/), for example the [Nodo RFLink Gateway](https://www.nodo-shop.nl/nl/21-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](/components/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 HA, for example to add it to a different group, hide it or configure a nice name.
|
|
|
|
Assigning name to a sensor:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
sensor:
|
|
- platform: rflink
|
|
devices:
|
|
alectov1_0334_temp:
|
|
sensor_type: temperature
|
|
```

### {% linkable_title 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`).
|
|
- Hide unwanted devices using [customizations](/getting-started/customizing-devices/)
|
|
- [Ignore devices on a platform level](/components/rflink/#ignoring-devices)
|
|
|
|
