Home Assistant RF Proxy Architecture Turns Old Remote Controls Into Smart Entities

Home Assistant RF integration now brings garage doors, motorized blinds, ceiling fans, and RF outlets into local smart home automations without replacing them. The 2026.5 proxy layer routes sub-GHz commands through a ten-dollar ESPHome CC1101 module across 315, 433, 868, and 915 MHz bands, eliminating cloud dependency and hardware replacement costs.
