RFXCOM open source

[jaumard]

Hi,

It will be great to have an open source version of rfxcom, I mean a library that can manage multiple radio protocoles. RFXCOM is quite expensive and I think mySensors library can also support other radio protocoles to be compatible with other devices on the market.

I see on an other thread maybe mySensors will be compatible with radioHead library who is also compatible with 433Hz radio transmitters. So we can work to a new api who can manage all 433Hz protocoles like RFXCOM do. Like this we can have a RFXCOM like for small $$

Anyone will be interested about a such project ?

For example we can create a top layer on mySensors and make serial communication become :

protocole;protocole-params...;

Few examples for :
MySensors :

mysensors;node-id;child-sensor-id;message-type;ack;sub-type;payload\n

Chacon/HomeEasy :

homeeasy;sender-id;group;state;receiver-id;dim-level

same for all protocol we want to support

Dont think this is very nice to RFXCom dont you think?

Besides, that you can decode a 'few' protocols, do you really think you can decode all that RFXCom does?

What is expensive ? 100 euro's for a rock solid (and active developed) device ?

Did you looked at the 'RFLink' project?
