KC868-AG RF - sending repeated signals
#1
I'm new to this HW, so maybe I'm missing something.

I have a remote 433mhz that I "learned" on the Web UI.

When I transmit the signal, it is being sent around 5 times, triggering the receiving device to turn on and off and on again etc.
Basically, the device (ventilator) beeps when it gets a signal, and I'm hearing around 5 beeps.

Is there any way to configure this behavior?

Or should I flash the device with a different fimware? Can I just flash esphome on it - and hope to fix this somehow that way?

Current firmware: v2.2.4

I guess I found it - "RF repeat count" in the system settings. I lowered it to 30. Looks like I can only set this globally, not per item.

I have not yet found a way to export the "learned" RF signals - I checked in MQTT, there was nothing other than a state. So I think I will try to flash ESPhome next.

if you want customsize define every RF learned channel, use ESPHome is better.

A bit off topic, but interestingly, when I use the learn & transmit functionality of the KCS firmware, it works. When I use ESPhome with either the data from the dumped RF log or using raw signals I got from FlipperZero, it does not work.

from the log:
[22:44:20][I][remote.drayton:236]: Received Drayton: address=0x7837 (0xf06e), channel=0x00c command=0x030

in esphome:

button:
- platform: template
name: Turn on Ceiling Fan
on_press:
- remote_transmitter.transmit_drayton:
address: '0x7837'
channel: '0x00c'
command: '0x030'

The investigation continues :-)

Not sure where to post my question related to KC868-AG.
I have captured the rc_swich code for RF remote and the code is consistent so I understand it is correct. I next apply this code, still having receiver enabled. The device does not react to the code and the logged code is totally different. I have tested this on two different devices with the same effect.
This is part of my YAML:
remote_transmitter:
- id: remote_trans_RF
pin: GPIO22
carrier_duty_percent: 100%
- id: remote_trans
pin: GPIO2
carrier_duty_percent: 50%
remote_receiver:
- id: receiver_RF
pin:
number: GPIO13
dump: all
fan:
- platform: template
name: "RF Fan Controller"
id: rf_fan
speed_count: 6
on_turn_on:
- fan.turn_on:
id: rf_fan
speed: 1
on_turn_off:
- remote_transmitter.transmit_rc_switch_raw:
transmitter_id: remote_trans_RF
code: '111001111101100100000011'
protocol: 6
repeat:
times: 10
wait_time: 0s

what do you want to do? receive RF signal to control relay?
