How to control Wave Design extractor hood from Home Assistant?

Hi all. I'm new here.

As a user of home assistant using an RFlink device at firmware R48
I'd like to control my [supposedly supported] Wave Design extractor hood
a) to see when it is in a turned on state
b) to turn it off
So that I can see when it is turned on in home assistant as a basis for further automations.

I have created home assistant entities for each of the relevant button presses but they do not control the extractor hood. Nor does a button press change the state of an entity in home assistant.

Please support with troubleshooting!

  #Use the log viewer to see what happens and add manually OR set light and sensor auto add to true and cleanup later in entities.

It seems to be supported for a while now already.

The only resource I found regarding extractor hood is this one: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/i ... d/422219/7

I hope the admins will come forward to troubleshoot your code.

Thanks for that link. Indeed, I could use various means to detect cooking. However 1) I'd like to use RFlink because I think it is cool (and this is its first application) and 2) I'd like the ability to turn off the extractor hood from home assistant.

> each of the relevant button presses but they do not control the extractor hood.
Did you try to use RFLink with the RFLink loader directly?
Thus not using HA to see where the problem lies.
Possibly the detection is faulty.
In that case debug logs are needed. Look here: https://www.rflink.nl/develop.php
