which modules to use for 434/868 mHz

[A Former User]

Hello,
I am trying to understand which module i can use to control lights and to monitor sensor data which are working on 434/868mHz.
I tried nrf905, cc1101, but cannot find working code.
Do you have/know some modules that can be controlled via python?

also is it possible to connect 2.4 ghz module and 434/868mhz module at once on raspberry pi.
i want to create one server supporting all frequency for iot modules.

@Vasil-Vasilev welcome to the MySensors community!

You can use rfm69, see https://www.mysensors.org/build/connect_radio#wiring-the-rfm69-radio

Could you explain what you mean by controlling through python? I'm not sure how that makes sense in a MySensors context.

Hi,
thanks. but i need modules for raspberry pi.
i want to create my own solution and cannot find suitable hardware.

@Vasil-Vasilev ok. Then MySensors might not be the right project for you. But maybe you can reuse some of the Raspberry Pi gateway code/ideas. it has support for RFM69.

thanks for replying,
i just want to know what i am doing.
normally if i download some code, i have to read it from beginning and to understand what it is doing, so i can improve it in future.
and everybody know that this is impossible with other code that is 2000 files with 100000 lines of code
it is like my hobby but for me it is interesting.
I like your project also and know that there are many people that know what they are doing here that is why i wrote a post.
I have tried many modules - maybe 20 from amazon and gave back because didnt worked and dont want to give up..
now i understand that this module RFM69 is working only on one band not both.

@Vasil-Vasilev yes, you need to select which frequency (433 or 868 MHz) when you buy the radio module.
