Control household RF devices with low-cost GPIO modules
Project description
Introduction
High level RF library for interacting with common devices.
Requirements
Python 3
Native GPIO library (see Installation)
Installation
Clone this repo locally, then: bash pip install rfdevices
Native GPIO Library
For GPIO operations, this library uses adafruit/Adafruit_Python_GPIO for compatibility with multiple SoC boards. As a result, you’ll need to ensure you manually install your platform’s GPIO library.
If you have a Raspberry Pi: bash pip install RPi.GPIO See RPi.GPIO on Sourceforge for more information.
If you have a Beaglebone Black: bash pip install Adafruit_BBIO See adafruit/adafruit-beaglebone-io-python for more information.
If you have an Intel (e.g. Galileo, Edison) board, follow the instructions at intel-iot-devkit/mraa.
Usage
After installing, the rfsend tool will be available in your PATH.
Here’s an example of sending a command to a UC7070T (Harbor Breeze) fan to toggle the light on/off: bash # GPIO pin 23 / fan dipswitch set to 1101 rpi-rftx -g 23 -t uc7070t -b 111010000001
