rpi-433 plugin

Prerequisites

important notice

Tested it with a raspberry pi 3 and raspbian. Had trouble to get the pimatic-homeduino plugin to install. Always failed with npm package serialport installation.

But with the npm libary rpi433 it was really easy to read out 433 mhz sensor.

What can this plugin do?

• Control Devices
  • Power switch

Plugin settings in Pimatic

    {
    "plugin": "rpi433",
    "emitter": 21,
    "receiver": 22,
    "debug": true
    },

With debug mode to true and pimatic in normal console run you can read out the remote. Codes will be output to console currently.

Device settings in Pimatic

switch device

  {
    "id": "TVButton",
    "name": "TV Power",
    "class": "Rpi433Switch",
    "on": "87347",
    "off": "87356",
    "pulseLength": 178
  }

PulseLength is set to 178 by default. Can be override in device settings.

To-do

• Currently only the configured codes can be send via emitter sensor. Plan for the future is that the receiver also is supported and switch on/off devices in case the origin remote is used.
• when switch is recognized as switched off, but is on (because activated with remote device) then switch off this device should work again (e.g. by echo)
• support for window/door opener
