ESP8266 RF Send and Receive

ESP8266 - RF Send and Receive

Prerequisites

Note: Gateways can be used separately. Follow this Link for a quick overview about all Modules and possible Combinations.

Tested Modules for the RF Addon:

Module	Purpose	Where to Buy (examples)
XD RF 5V	433Mhz Receiver	-
FS1000A	433Mhz Transmitter	-

• or better alternative superheterodyne STX882 & SRX882

Hardware setup:

Module Pin	NodeMCU / ESP8266 RX Pin	NodeMCU / ESP8266 TX Pin
RF Receive Module data pin	D2 or D3 or D1	-
RF Send Module data pin	-	RX

If the gateway works only when serial monitor is connected don't use D3 use D2 instead (gpio 4) and modify config_RF.h accordingly.

Iwith SRX882 some users reported that D3 is not working use D1 instead in this case and modify config_RF.h accordingly.

Vcc pin of the ESP8266, the RF Emitter and RF Receiver to a 5V supply source Ground pins of the ESP8266, the RF Emitter and RF Receiver to the ground of the supply source.

Software setup:

For the libraries take the version linked into Libfolder

If you want to use this gateway uncomment in user_config

#define ZgatewayRF

If you want to use KAKU protocol uncomment also #define ZgatewayRF2

If you want to use the protocols supported by Pilight library comment also #define ZgatewayRF2 #define ZgatewayRF and uncomment #define ZgatewayPiLight
