Hello! Everything seems fine to me. There could be some things to modify, like tolerance, filter and idle.
One thing to try is to dump everything instead just rc_switch. Do that and let me know👍
Could you also share the model of the remote?
Thanks for the tip - after setting dump to 'all' I can now seem my codes coming through, they appear to be in 'pronto' format. My new yaml (I changed to wifi just for an easier setup while debugging):
substitutions:
name: "esp-remote"
room: "Lounge"
friendly_name: "ESP Remote"
project_name: "kaneo.esp_remote"
project_version: "0.0.1"
esphome:
name: "${name}"
name_add_mac_suffix: false
friendly_name: "${friendly_name}"
project:
name: "${project_name}"
version: "${project_version}"
esp32:
board: esp32dev

services:
- service: send_rf_raw
variables:
# protocol_number: int
raw_data: string
then:
- remote_transmitter.transmit_rc_switch_raw:
transmitter_id: RF_TX
# protocol: !lambda 'return esphome::remote_base::RC_SWITCH_PROTOCOLS[protocol_number];'
code: !lambda 'return raw_data;'

It looks like pronto struct doesn't have a 'protocol' data field as rc_switch does. It only expects a string. However, there is a separate pronto_protocol class, but I'm not too sure if this is needed to be implemented in anyway?
So I am now receiving my codes:
But when I try send this data using the transmitter nothing happens:
I have confirmed that all formatting from the raw code is removed.
I am quite knew to the rf_transmitter/receiver components (if that wasn't already obvious) so once again you're help is really appreciated!
Great, so some progress. Once you receive the pronto data, you should be able to transmit it with this action remote_transmitter.transmit_pronto So add this service and try to transmit with it.
- service: send_rf_pronto
variables:
pronto_data: string
then:
- remote_transmitter.transmit_pronto:
transmitter_id: RF_TX
data: !lambda 'return pronto_data;'
@gid204 Sorry, i mistakenly deleted your comment. This was the link
Quite sure, that thread applies also to RF. So you can try what they say there. Also press a lot of times the button on the original remote and try to emulate the one that appears more often.
And are you sure the receiver only recognizes pronto protocol? Maybe you can use some other protocols which are easier to use
If you can give me the model of your remote, I can search online too
Before I buy one of these awesome products I decided to slap a DIY version together to confirm I can get my devices working as required before spending the money (I have most parts readily available).
I am not able to receive any RF codes using the home assistant event developer tool. Just wanted to check I am not doing anything wrong.
Everything is connected up as per the config above. I then go the developer tool events section and listen for![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/7547109/230751477-6495e6aa-33c2-4301-acda-43555a443579.png)
esphome.rf_code_received
:I point my blinds RF (433MHz) remote and click some buttons but nothing pops up.
Obviously can't attest for the quality but these are the receivers/transmitters I bought and am using: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32735811163.html?spm=a2g0o.new_account_index.0.0.286725b9MZf6XG
I am using the Climax ESP32 POE board: https://www.olimex.com/Products/IoT/ESP32/ESP32-POE/open-source-hardware
Thanks in advance!!
