433MHz Arduino Transmission Code for HomeWizard? #1

Open EWdG opened 6 years ago

EWdG commented 6 years ago

Would the programmer of this library also have the option and would he take the time to write a transmission code for the Arduino?

I might be able to look into it, especially since I plan to procur another one of those transmitter units for a different project anyway. However, what is the use case if I may ask? You do realize that this would merely emulate the function of a standard HomeWizard on/off switch?

With your library "HomeWizard" I can record the data from a transmitter to an actuator. Now I want to send the recorded data from an Arduino to the actuator. For this a library with which one can send the recorded data is missing. In the end, this Arduino would be integrated into the WLAN. There he would be able to operate with Virtuino (http://virtuino.com) with a smartphone or tablet.

To include your HomeWizard library. The download of the ZIP-file "HomeWizard-master.zip" could not simply be entered into the Arduiono IDE. I always got the message "Specified Folder / ZIP file does not contain a valid library". Only when I unzipped the "HomeWizard-master.zip" by hand, I could use the then obtained "HomeWizard.zip" in the IDE. I also had to separately download and integrate the "RFControl-master.zip". Especially since an empty directory "RFControl" can be found under "HomeWizard-master.zip" I wonder if this is what you want?

You're right about the ZIP file. I originally added RFControl as a submodule, one major disadvantage of which is that GitHub does not include the submodule's code in the ZIP files. In the meantime, this method has become obsolete with the introduction of subtrees, which fixes this issue.

I've modified the repository and RFControlis now a subtree, so ZIP downloads will include the source code of that library as well. I just tested it with my IDE, and everything compiles ok from HomeWizard-master.zip. If it still doesn't work for you, please let me know.

Ok, I understand now. It should not be too much trouble to add a transmission function. However, I still need to wait for a 433MHz module for testing to arrive, so it will take a week or two until I can start looking into this.

I'll wait. Thank you in advance.
