Installation

You can install rtl_433_discoverandsubmit directly from PyPI:

pip install rtl_433_discoverandsubmit

Usage

Install the custom integration and add it via Home Assistant's integrations page. During setup you will be asked for MQTT connection details and the topic to listen to. Newly discovered devices will trigger a prompt asking whether they should be added.

The package also installs a small CLI tool called rtl_433_discoverandsubmit which can be used without Home Assistant. Run it with your MQTT connection details:

rtl_433_discoverandsubmit --mqtt_server 192.168.1.10 --mqtt_port 1883 --topic rtl_433/+/events

Use the s key to cycle sorting of detected devices and k to reset the message counters if you want to start again. Accepted devices are persisted in ~/.rtl_433_discoverandsubmit/devices.json.
