Lightwave V1 Mood switches

[bigbadblunt]

I don't have a mood switch, but I do have a LW100 remote, which I think works the same.

These don't go via the hub at all - they are directly linked to the device they're controlling (I assume this is why they don't work with V2 switches as they use a different protocol).

So I can't detect activity from the remotes as the hub is blind to them. You could try capturing the signals from the remote using a generic 433MHz receiver. Rfxcom seems to support the lightwave protocol (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/rfxtrx/)
but I've not tried it myself.

Thanks @bigbadblunt. I believe your LW100 will be similar to LW101 which I have and RF 433Mhz. I have 3 units and think it would be useful to be able to use them within HA to control pretty much anything when one of their buttons is pushed. Firstly and specifically to initiate a V2 Lightwave switch. I believe I have quite a few other RF devices about as well: Oregon weather station components for example.

I had found the RFXCOM RFXTRX integration, but have difficulty finding any hardware to use with it. All RFXCOM kit seems to be "out of stock". Raspberry Pi specific 433Mhz receiver/transmitter have some reports of only being a few meters in range. RFLINK alternative also no hardware. There are some Chinese RF 433Mhz USBs which take many weeks to arrive, but they don't have startling reviews either. Just starting to look at Sonoff RF bridge and possibility of flashing with Tasmota. This may be "one for the back burner" as they say.
