Unreliable transmits when RF receiver is connected to the PI #7

I noticed unreliable transmits when RF receiver is connected.

When i unplug the RF receiver from the GPIO pin 2 and have only the RF transmitter connected to GPIO, everything is fine.

I am using RPI 2 model B+.

I also noticed higher CPU usage (~40% ) by homebridge when RF receiver is connected but not when it is disconnected. Could that be the issue?

In general the RasPi GPIO isn't ideal for this, I created a HomeBridge plugin that uses Arduinos for sending and receiving via USB and it works MUCH better: https://github.com/normen/homebridge-433-arduino

Norman is correct. I have not use this for a while.
