Info

This library allows you to copy and clone the radio signals sent out and received by most popular low-cost power outlet sockets and light switches.

  • Use the sample simple receiver sketch get details of the code your existing transmitter is sending.
  • Use this library and the sample send the sketch to recreate a transmission that is a copy of the signal sent by the original transmitter.
  • Once this is working you can use this as the basis for home automation. E.g. using Node-Red, OpenHAB, Alexa etc

Send RC codes

Use your Arduino with a suitable transmitter to operate remote radio controlled devices. This method should work with most popular low-cost power outlet sockets and light switches with 315/433mHz support.

You will need an Arduino, ESP8266, etc, a 315/433MHz transmitter (find out where to get one or hack your existing remote control) and one or more devices with a SC5262 / SC5272, HX2262 / HX2272, PT2262 / PT2272, EV1527, RT1527, FP1527 or HS1527 chipset. Also supports Intertechno outlets.

Use the send example sketch.

Receive and decode RC codes

Find out what codes your remote is sending. Use your remote to control your Arduino.

You need is an Arduino, ESP8266, etc, a 315/433MHz receiver. Use the simple/advanced receive demo example sketches.
