rfdevices 0.2.0

Control household RF devices with low-cost GPIO modules

Introduction

High level RF library for interacting with common devices.

Requirements

• Python 3

• Native GPIO library (see Installation)

Installation

Clone this repo locally, then:

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:

pip install RPi.GPIO

See RPi.GPIO on Sourceforge for more information.

If you have a Beaglebone Black:

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:

# GPIO pin 23 / fan dipswitch set to 1101
rpi-rftx -g 23 -t uc7070t -b 111010000001
