I've come to the realization that the remote hardware module is just not user friendly at all, and I don't believe it ever will be. This is my solution for the increasing number of folks wanting a simple way to setup PIR motions sensors, reed switches, rain sensors etc that have simple on/off states. This will allow a user to assign a friendly name and gpio pin to monitor for the state change message. I also think, like most modules we can auto-detect a small curated list of i2c based sensors like RAK's human presence radar sensor for instance and utilize those automatically as well.
