I am fixing things. Just made this

https://github.com/catduckgnaf/rtl_433_ha

I am working on updating everything to be streamlined. This will work with next or not.

Same problem here 👎 How can I help?

Thanks for offering!

I reviewed the above repo for changes that would clearly fix the argument parsing I could patch or cherry-pick in, but I didn't find one.

My time is limited at the moment (but will be opening up at the end of the month). I'm more than happy to merge a PR with 1-2 reviews, understanding I may not actually be able to test it myself before merging.

Hello, I've made some changes since then.

I am working on one or two things, and then really want to actively develop and work on things. I would be happy to take over maintaining the project, however I plan do make alot more changes, so I guess when I'm ready I'll continue with a Fork instead. I don't think that is the best solution for the community. I have the time, passion, and devices to pick up the torch, would much rather you spend your time helping me get up to speed.

Let me know

How do I use your script? I was able to use your template and now the log is showing my devices but a little lost on how to use the script.

I have no idea why they don't want to merge my fix, at least for the time being. But I will be working on an intergration. Quite honestly the script is mostly useless. It doesn't discover anything but weather sensors. Another reason I wanted to take ownership

I’ll give a try adding my sensors in configuration.yaml. I was using another add-on (acurite2mqtt) but it doesn’t support adding any thing using protocol higher than 223. Trying to use rtl_433 so I can get a Govee water leak sensor using 231 added to Home Assistant.

Its sad, but you are so right, most people seem to not use the script and so what you are saying. I am simply going to work on redoing this. I'd rather learn to code verse fight pointless gatekeeping

Thank you! I’ll keep my eye on your integration for when it’s published.

I fixed this in in PR #162. I'm not aware of any way how you can try this out in HA because I don't know how to specify branches when adding repos. If you want to feel free to download the version from my PR and install it locally as described in https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/add-ons/tutorial

[unverbraucht]

Probably caused by #164 and not #162 :)

I just finished rolling a new release, and now that config.json's fixes are on main this should be fixed. Thanks!
