I hope I'm positing in the right section.

I recently installed an autogate at home with 433MHz remotes. Wanted to integrate them to my phone (no need to carry the remote around) using Sonoff RF Bridge R2.

I was able to pair to the device but when it comes to learning the remote code, it failed. I confirmed my remote is 433MHz. The Sonoff is also 433Mhz. But they don't seems to talk.

Anyone experience this issue?

i had bad experience trying to use RF remote with autogate. most of the time cannot learn. got one can learn but the memory keep resetting.

after wasting money on so many rf blasters, in the end i got this "eden robot" thingy that goes directly into the autogate controller box and connects to your wifi. then you control it with tuya/smart life. works perfectly already.

If your autogate is running on rolling code, your Sonoff bridge will not work. Also the decoding might not be the same. Best way to integrate is to use Sonoff wifi module directly tap signal at autogate controller box or integrate with your remote control.

I wish I could do that, but the controller is purely wireless. Even the control box in the house to operate the gate is wireless.

I doubt the system is on a rolling code. I bought a few cheap RM5 duplicator remotes and manage to duplicate the signals perfectly.

Then your best option is to link your remote control by soldering the button of the remote to the NO port of the Sonoff wifi module.

That is next on my list to do. Just couldn't identify the right Sonoff model. One that could be programmed to give a momentary (pulse) output.

I had sonoff rf bridge paired and learnt the remote code. However pressing the button doesn't trigger the gate. Maybe the rf power not strong enough.

I'm current using this "eWeLink App WIFI RF Remote Autogate Smart Phone auto gate opener controller" (search in lazada). Works ok, just that occasionally it will lost wifi connection and to wait a few seconds to reconnect.

Yours is the original black one or the new R2 white one? I suspect the old one should work. Issue is with the new R2 model.
