RF remotes that work with Sonoff

[Evan Kraus]

Are there any other remotes that work with Sonoff?

[gmac42]

Yes.

[Evan Kraus]

Will any 433MHz remote pair with Sonoff?

[gmac42]

No, but many will work with Sonoff's RF Bridge.

See: https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/Sonoff-RF-Bridge-433

I think I understand now. You train the bridge with a 433MHz remote then it WIFI's the command.

I think I got the jist of of what you answered. So almost any 433MHz remote pairs with the Sonoff RF Bridge by training it. Which can support 4 remote ID's linked to 4 Sonoff switches. When a button is pushed the RF Bridge receives the signal then through the APP it sends the WIFI ON/OFF command to the module. I have been messing around with a Sonoff RF switch and some 433MHz remotes and none of them work.

the sonoff rf bridge will extend the range of rf remotes already paired with sonoff-rf enabled devices.

So if you have a sonoff rf device paired with a remote, you can add a sonoff rf bridge to your network and use the rf remote button beyond the sonoff rf, rf's range.

the sonoff rf bridge using the out of the box ewelink app enabled firmware will allow you to pair buttons as alarm devices so you can use a ewelink smart scene to turn other non rf devices on or off but not toggle, so to turn on and off you will need to add 2 buttons as alarms..  

Using tasmota and some control s/w you have much more options.

I use wattsclever remotes. They have long range and work with the rf-bridge. I just bought the remotes separately.

I put the tasmota firmware on the rf-bridge and I don't bother pairing the remote. I use node-red and I just look for the ID that is sent by the remote that the rf-bridge reports to node-red to do what I want it to do.
