Its kinda kludgy (of course- I made it!) but it works. As usual full of bits pinched from elsewhere....
I am using this to control 4 effergy wall outlets. I already have mains switching ability but it's made by me and I am nervous about fire, so I figured this was a good compromise.
I have some cheap 433 transmitters and receivers. Used the RCSwitch library to capture the codes. I have only got one switch functional at the moment but to add the rest is trivial. My coding Im sure is crap but it works.
I have soldered a wee wire to the transmitter 12CM long and have no issues with range. I like the 'repeat command x times' function in the RCSwitch library, kinda makes not having feedback a non issue.
