:description: Instructions for setting up remote receiver binary sensors for infrared and RF codes.

:keywords: RF, infrared
.. _remote-receiver-component:
Component/Hub
-------------
The ``remote_receiver`` component lets you receive and decode any remote signal, these can
for example be infrared remotes or 433MHz signals.
The component is split up into two parts: the remote receiver hub which can be used to
receive, decode and dump all remote codes, and individual
:ref:`remote receiver binary sensors <remote-receiver-binary-sensor>` which will trigger when they
hear their own configured signal.
.. code-block:: yaml
# Example configuration entry
remote_receiver:
pin: GPIO32
dump: all
Configuration variables:
************************
- **pin** (**Required**, :ref:`config-pin`): The pin to receive the remote signal on.
- **dump** (*Optional*, list): Decode and dump these remote codes in the logs. Set to ``all`` to
dump all available codecs:
- **lg**: Decode and dump LG infrared codes.
- **nec**: Decode and dump NEC infrared codes.
- **panasonic**: Decode and dump Panasonic infrared codes.
- **jvc**: Decode and dump JVC infrared codes.
- **samsung**: Decode and dump Samsung infrared codes.
- **sony**: Decode and dump Sony infrared codes.
- **rc_switch**: Decode and dump RCSwitch RF codes.
- **rc5**: Decode and dump RC5 IR codes.
- **raw**: Print all remote codes in their raw form. Useful for using arbitrary protocols.
- **tolerance** (*Optional*, int): The percentage that the remote signal lengths can deviate in the
decoding process. Defaults to ``25%``.
- **buffer_size** (*Optional*, int): The size of the internal buffer for storing the remote codes. Defaults to ``10kb``
on the ESP32 and ``1kb`` on the ESP8266.
- **filter** (*Optional*, :ref:`time <config-time>`): Filter any pulses that are shorter than this. Useful for removing
glitches from noisy signals. Defaults to ``10us``.
- **idle** (*Optional*, :ref:`time <config-time>`): The amount of time that a signal should remain stable (i.e. not
change) for it to be considered complete. Defaults to ``10ms``.
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation. Use this if you have
multiple remote transmitters.
.. note::
See :ref:`finding_remote_codes` for a guide for setting this up.
.. _remote-receiver-binary-sensor:
Binary Sensor
-------------
The ``remote_receiver`` binary sensor lets you track when a button on a remote control is pressed.
Each time the pre-defined signal is received, the binary sensor will briefly go ON and
then immediately OFF.
.. code-block:: yaml
# Example configuration entry
remote_receiver:
pin: GPIO32
dump: all
binary_sensor:
- platform: remote_receiver
name: "Panasonic Remote Input"
panasonic:
address: 0x4004
command: 0x100BCBD
Configuration variables:
************************
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name for the binary sensor.
- The remote code, see :ref:`remote_transmitter-codes`. Only one
of them can be specified per binary sensor.
- **remote_receiver_id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): The id of the :ref:`remote-receiver-component`.
Defaults to the first hub in your configuration.
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
- All other options from :ref:`Binary Sensor <config-binary_sensor>`.
.. note::
See :ref:`finding_remote_codes` for a guide for setting this up.
.. note::
For the Sonoff RF Bridge you can use `this hack <https://github.com/xoseperez/espurna/wiki/Hardware-Itead-Sonoff-RF-Bridge---Direct-Hack>`__
created by the Github user wildwiz. Then use this configuration for the remote receiver/transmitter hubs:
.. code-block:: yaml
remote_receiver:
pin: 4
dump: all
remote_transmitter:
pin: 5
carrier_duty_percent: 100%
Supporting the RF Bridge chip directly is currently only a long-term goal for ESPHome.
