Hi There all,

Love this plugin, work well !!! I also have switched to turn lights on manual. I want to get those codes to use them in homebridge.

Also still find out to get a plugin that only receives codes in homebridge so homebridge will turn on a switch. When i have this, i can config homebridge with this wall switch codes, and send a turn on signal to my lights by homebridge. i get then next example idea:

Manual hit switch1, then homebridge receive the code, homebridge send by a rule a light bulb on. Manual hit switch1, then homebridge receive the code, homebridge send by a rule a light bulb off.

etc with switch2, 3, 4, ....

Then i can turn on lights using manual switch and homebridge. And status of lamp will always be correct in homekit, eve, of whatever you use.

Agreed! I would also be interested in catching RF codes en sending different ones to the bulbs/switches. That way the homebridge state would always be up to date (unless there is a power outage).

I have only used the RF sniffer tool from https://github.com/ninjablocks/433Utils/tree/master/RPi_utils to catch remote commands. Unfortunately I am not advanced enough to implement this in code..

@robertklep what do you think, is this possible? :-)

There's already a Homebridge plugin that seems to be able to support this: homebridge-rfbuttons.

It's actually something that I should look into myself, I have a few cheap 433Mhz remotes ("key clone"-types like this one) that I can't use for anything else (they don't accept KaKu codes, for instance) that I may be able to put to use.
