Learn a remote control or transmitter

Getting Started Updated 2026-05-27

RF-HUB can record the signal from virtually any 433 MHz remote control.

Step by step

  1. Open the RF-HUB web interface and go to Devices.
  2. Click + Add Remote Control > choose the number of buttons.
  3. Press a button on the physical remote control — the signal appears directly in the list.
  4. Press each button in turn so RF-HUB can name them.
  5. Done — the buttons can now be used as triggers in Home Assistant, Homey, or directly with your switches.

Tips

If a button is not picked up: check that the remote control has a fresh battery and that the distance is no more than a couple of metres during learning.
