You might save my life. We spent a ton on blinds that had alta bliss assuming since it had Google assistant, IFTTT and Alexa we could get them to work. I've tried with it's bridge, and with https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0833VHSCD/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_NJ738Y7W5M60V42PSV86?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 but it doesn't pick up any codes. Any idea?

I have an Aleko motorized awning that uses a 433 MHz remote to open and close it. I then use a Sonoff RF Wireless Bridge with the Portisch firmware so I could sniff and capture the 433 MHz codes of the awning remote. The Sonoff RF Wireless Bridge now acts as a remote when used in automations or manual interactions in Home Assistant. In my Home Assistant setup I also have my Ambient Weather station info used in the automations, specifically the wind speed. Currently I have Home Assistant open the awning at 8 AM then closes at 4 PM. If the wind gets above 13 mph it will also auto close the awning. I haven't tied it to the weather forecast yet but it wouldn't be that difficult.

Follow the guides.

The Sonoff RF bridge listens for (all) 433mhz buttons and dumps them on a topic on MQTT.

433 buttons can be a little tough to figure out what will work on amazon, but they're all pretty cheap. Here's one that I have, but the rest of what I have are the Sonoff RM433. Each button sends a different message, and then I filter out what messages correspond to what button in nodered.

It's all pretty crude technology - but I've found it to be pretty reliable, and cheaper per button than zwave/zigbee, and the batteries seem to last a while, so not really any complaints.
