rpi-rf
======

Introduction
------------

Python module for sending and receiving 433/315MHz LPD/SRD signals with generic low-cost GPIO RF modules on a Raspberry Pi.

Protocol and base logic ported ported from `rc-switch`_.

Supported hardware
------------------

Most generic 433/315MHz capable modules (cost: ~2€) connected via GPIO to a Raspberry Pi.
