Hi @haraldhh, HA Core doesn't run add-ons since it's just the Python program itself. Add-Ons are in the end mostly Docker containers, which means you can run this one in any container environment. You'd have to run the image ghcr.io/pbkhrv/rtl_433-hass-addons-rtl_433-ARCH - replacing ARCH with amd64 for PCs or armv7/aarch64 for ARM-based boards like Raspis depending on your OS. Running uname in the terminal will tell you which arch you have.

You might find it easier to run generic rtl-433 in Docker instead since this repo is about making it work seamlessly as an Add-on. You'd probably still use rtl-433-mqtt autodiscovery from this repo. Have a look at https://github.com/hertzg/rtl_433_docker.

Got it thanks. Running the python-script rtl_433_mqtt_hass.py by itself in CLI seems to work fine.

Awesome. Can you close the issue?

Sorry, sure. Thanks
