RF Transceiver

RC Switch driver enables sending RF codes through an RF transmitter and receiving them through an RF receiver via rc-switch library.

RF Transmitter~

Not all transmitter modules will work with the rc-switch library. Some of officially supported modules by rc-switch are:

  • SC5262 / SC5272
  • HX2262 / HX2272
  • PT2262 / PT2272
  • EV1527 / RT1527 / FP1527 / HS1527
  • Intertechno outlets
  • HT6P20X

This guide was created using STX882 RF transmitter which also works without issues.

Wiring~

RF ESP
data GPIOx
+ 3.3v/5v
- GND

Tasmota~

In the Configuration -> Configure Module page assign:

  • GPIOx to RFSend

See RF commands for use.

RF Receiver~

RF receiver is used to capture RF codes. Those codes can be sent using RFSend or used as a rule trigger.

Not all transmitter modules will have sufficient power or range for normal use

This guide is using SRX882 RF receiver module with a helical antenna.

Wiring~

SRX882 ESP
Data GPIOx
VCC 5v
GND GND
CS 3v3 or 5v

CS pin needs to be pulled high to put the module in active mode

Tasmota~

In the Configuration -> Configure Module page assign:

  • GPIOx to RFrecv (106)

On a captured code RF receiver sends a tele/%topic%/RESULT JSON response visible in console:

{
  "Time": "2019-01-01T00:00:00",
  "RfReceived": {
    "Data": "0x7028D5",
    "Bits": 24,
    "Protocol": 1,
    "Pulse": 238
  }
}
