433MHz radio control - Raspberry Pi Forums


i did find "front page" on energenie site bit confusing @ first.
the pi-mote control board can operate 4 groups of sockets. number of sockets can associated group. socket can in 2 groups.
means can switch on or off multiple appliances simultaneously (by having lots of sockets in group), limited 4 groups. price, isn't bad.

need control multiple sockets independently, bought 16 remote sockets (3 x pack of 5, plus single) maplin, , built home-made controller board. sockets hardware switched, although there no learning mode needed, if neighbour has same setup, make life interesting. controller cost me 10 ukp in materials, (atmega168, resonator, 433mhz transmitter, connector) , uses i2c communication pi. made stackable, doesn't obscure other gpio use, , used simple lighttpd setup , simple c application (cgi) allow run mobile phone/tablet.

1 issue cannot tell programmatically if remote socket on or off. that, i'd need transmitter in each socket, , receiver on board, different sockets. however, solution, while not perfect, did come in @ under 100 ukp (i got remote sockets when on offer!) including pi, i'll live is.

wife, has mobility issues, thinks time did useful "stuff keep messing with", , impressed.
