Module to operate 433/315Mhz devices like power outlet sockets, relays, etc. This will most likely work with all popular low cost power outlet sockets with a SC5262 / SC5272, HX2262 / HX2272, PT2262 / PT2272, EV1527, RT1527, FP1527 or HS1527 chipset.
|
|
|
|
This module uses some code from the [original rc-switch Arduino lib](https://github.com/sui77/rc-switch/) but NodeMCU and Arduino are not fully compatible. This required that **rc-switch** was rewritten into **rfswitch** NodeMCU with Lua support.

### Connection of transmitter

| Transmitter | ESP8266 | comments |

| :----------- | :------- | :------------------------------ |
|
|
| vin or + | 3V3 | 3.3 - 5 volts on ESP8266 or other power source |
|
|
| ground or - | GND | ground should be connected to ESP8266 and to power source |
|
|
| data pin | 6 | almost any pin on ESP8266 |
|
|

|
You can read more about connection [here](https://alexbloggt.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/nodemcu_433_transmitter.png).

|
|
### Selecting proper protocol
|
|
This module supports **transmitting** data using 6 different protocols
|
|
and you should use one most suitable for your needs. **Receiving** data is not supported yet. So, you cannot listen radio air and get protocol details using Lua.
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to get the correct protocol is to connect the radio receiver to your ESP8266 or [Arduino](https://github.com/sui77/rc-switch/wiki/HowTo_Receive),
|
|
then run [ReceiveDemo_Advanced.ino](https://github.com/sui77/rc-switch/blob/master/examples/ReceiveDemo_Advanced/ReceiveDemo_Advanced.ino)
|
|
and view output in serial console ([example1](http://www.instructables.com/id/Control-CoTech-Remote-Switch-With-Arduino-433Mhz/?ALLSTEPS),
|
|
[example2](http://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp8266-remote-controlled-sockets/)).
|
|
|
|
You should get something like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Decimal: 11001351 (24Bit)
|
|
Binary: 101001111101111000000111
|
|
Tri-State: not applicable
|
|
PulseLength: 517 microseconds
|
|
Protocol: 5
|
|
|
|
Raw data: 7200,1004,528,504,1048,980,336,1176,356,1176,352,1180,1108,412,356,1172,364,1168,356,1160,1176,1124,412,336,1180,1116,440,328,1188,340,1228,1060,416,1160,380,1160,1108,464,1068,436,328,1232,1060,412,1116,440,1088,428,3024,
|
|
```
|
|
More detailed about low level protocol specifications could be found [here](https://github.com/sui77/rc-switch/wiki/KnowHow_LineCoding)

You can visualize a telegram copy the raw data by paste it into [http://test.sui.li/oszi/]()

## rfswitch.send()
|
|
Transmit data using the radio module.
|
|
|
|
#### Syntax
|
|
`rfswitch.send(protocol_id, pulse_length, repeat, pin, value, length)`
|
|
|
|
#### Parameters
|
|
- `protocol_id` positive integer value, from 1-6
|
|
- `pulse_length` length of one pulse in microseconds, usually from 100 to 650
|
|
- `repeat` repeat value, usually from 1 to 5. This is a synchronous task. Setting the repeat count to a large value will cause problems.
|
|
The recommended limit is about 1-4. If you need more,
|
|
then call it asynchronously a few more times (e.g. using [node.task.post](../modules/node/#nodetaskpost))
|
|
- `pin` I/O index of pin, example 6 is for GPIO12, see [details](../modules/gpio/)
|
|
- `value` positive integer value, this is the primary data which will be sent
|
|
- `length` bit length of value, if value length is 3 bytes, then length is 24
|
|
|
|
#### Returns
|
|
`nil`
|
|
|
|
#### Example
|
|
```lua
|
|
-- Lua transmit radio code using protocol #1
|
|
-- pulse_length 300 microseconds
|
|
-- repeat 5 times
|
|
-- use pin #7 (GPIO13)
|
|
-- value to send is 560777
|
|
-- value length is 24 bits (3 bytes)
|
|
rfswitch.send(1, 300, 5, 7, 560777, 24)
|
|
```
