LouvreTec
The Nodo device was purchased from the Netherlands (https://www.nodo-shop.nl/nl/21-rflink-gateway) This uses an Arduino Mega 2560 board and adds a 443MHz radio
There is native support for this device in home assistant. Search the /dev/serial/by-id/ folder to identify the name. It will also show any simlink into tty. In my case this was /dev/ttyACM0
Follow the instructions at https://github.com/filipmaelbrancke/ha-rflink-rts to pair with the existing somfy controller Note the device RTS name, in my case 0A0A0A
In configuration.yaml add:
rflink port: /dev/ttyACM0
Then create a cover for the shutters
cover: - platform: rflink devices: RTS_0A0A0A_0: name: Louvertec
Note the final '-0' is added to the address as this signifies to use the first device linked to 0A0A0A
Cover
Create a new cover in Lovelace.
