Introduction

Python module for sending and receiving 433/315MHz LPD/SRD signals with generic low-cost GPIO RF modules on a Raspberry Pi.

Protocol and base logic ported ported from rc-switch. The libgiod-python library is required to access the GPIO pins. Therefore, the GPIO character device is used instead of the old GPIO sysfs interface.

Supported hardware

Most generic 433/315MHz capable modules (cost: ~2€) connected via GPIO to a Raspberry Pi.

433modules

Compatibility

Generic RF outlets and most 433/315MHz switches (cost: ~15€/3pcs).

Chipsets:

  • SC5262 / SC5272

  • HX2262 / HX2272

  • PT2262 / PT2272

  • EV1527 / RT1527 / FP1527 / HS1527

For a full list of compatible devices and chipsets see the rc-switch Wiki

Dependencies

libgiod-python (available through most package managers as python3-libgpiod)

Installation

On your Raspberry Pi, install the rpi_rf-gpiod module via pip.

Debian/Ubuntu:

# apt-get install python3-pip python3-libgpiod

Fedora/CentOS:

# dnf install python3-pip python3-libgpiod

With pip installed:

# pip3 install rpi-rf-gpiod
