Not sure, but i think you have cannot mix the switch and the sensor.
They are separate components.

Sir,
I am planning to make automation in my home. Am new to this field. I have searched lot of device in web. And I found broadlink rm pro+ gateway in Indian web. Which has IR , RF & WIFI. Am planning to use more RF sensors and relay switches in my home. My query is

1. multiple rf (433mah) devices will be operated each other during operate from gateway?
2. Does all rf devices available in local market have different rf codes to configure with the gateway?
3. Any interference will occur?
4. If automation scene is set, will the gateway operate the preset rf devices?
5. Any interference will occur between IR & RF & WIFI devices.?

Kindly give ur suggestions plz
