The `rflink` cover platform supports devices that use [RFLink gateway firmware](http://www.nemcon.nl/blog2/), for example the [Nodo RFLink Gateway](https://www.nodo-shop.nl/nl/21-rflink-gateway). RFLink gateway is an Arduino firmware that allows two-way communication with a multitude of RF wireless devices using cheap hardware (Arduino + transceiver).

The RFLink component does not know the difference between a `switch` and a `light`. Therefore all switchable devices are automatically added as `light` by default.
19+
After configuring the RFLink hub covers will be automatically discovered and added. Except the Somfy RTS devices.

RFLink switch/light/cover ID's are composed of: protocol, id, switch. For example: `newkaku_0000c6c2_1`.

Once the ID of a switch is known it can be used to configure it as a switch type in HA, for example to add it to a different group, hide it or configure a nice name.
23+
You have to add the Somfy RTS manually with the supplied RFlinkLoader (Windows only).

To add RFLink to your installation, add the following to your Home Assistant `configuration.yaml` file:
25+
Press the Learn button on the original Somfy remote enter the following code within 3 seconds. Your blinds will go up and down shortly:
26+
27+
````
28+
10;RTS;02FFFF;0412;3;PAIR;
29+
````
30+
31+
Your blinds will go up and down again. This means your Rflink is now paired with your RTS motor.
32+
To check this enter the following code again and see if there is a record.
33+
34+
````
35+
10;RTSSHOW;

After configuring the RFLink Somfy RTS you have to add the cover to the `configuration.yaml` file like any other RFlink device.
57+
58+
RFLink cover ID's are composed of: protocol, id, and gateway. For example: `RTS_0100F2_0`.
59+
60+
Once the ID of a cover is known, it can be used to configure the cover in Home Assistant, for example, to add it to a different group, hide it or set a nice name.
61+
62+
Assigning a name to a cover:
