Module radioemitter - Modification for 433 MHz and IR

Development
1

Hello,

I’m starting this small thread to briefly present my work on the radioemitter module.

I made some modifications to the radioemitter module in order to make my entire installation work (433 MHz outlets, IR LED strips…) using a simple Arduino.

The code in question is available on my repo here: Git.

The goal was to be able to create different devices in a simple way, and to provide the device service with the function that will be called by the Arduino, which will then execute the correct code with the correct signal.

Here’s a small screenshot of how it looks in terms of devices:

All you have to do is install the Serial module to send signals to the Arduino, then use this module to explain to the board the nature of the message, the hardware to use, and the code to send.

If you see any points for improvement, don’t hesitate :wink:

Thanks in advance.

Cool! Thanks @billona for your post.

For those reading this post, I am currently at @billona’s as part of my tour of France of Gladys installations :slight_smile: We need to adapt the 433mhz (Arduino + transmitter) operation in Gladys 4, it’s really an easy and low-cost setup!

Hello,
I use a 433 MHz transmitter to control power outlets,
and I have an LED strip with a remote control,
I was missing this way to control the strip THANK YOU.
What IR transmitter receiver do you use?

Hello,
Interesting, what is the point of putting the Alims of the transmitters/receivers on outputs? Not enough power pins?

I use a simple IR LED in series with a resistor (50 Ohm as far as I remember) that acts as a line. I then power this line with the signals sent by the Arduino.

However, for the IR part to work, I must specify that the library corresponding to the IRSend instances (RCSwitch as far as I remember) must be modified. I will try to find my modification process and share it on this thread.

Not at all, I chose to go through the outputs for the power supplies of the transmitters/receivers simply to only have to connect the modules directly to the Arduino on the pins, without having to make any connections. By doing this, I don’t have to worry about the wiring, I plug my transmitter into the correct pins and it works.
