Introduction

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

Protocol and base logic ported ported from rc-switch_.

Supported hardware

Most generic 433/315MHz capable modules (cost: ~2€) connected via ftdi serial compatible hardware to a Generic PC.
