The software included a script that allowed В to sniff out the controls of hisВ RF remote.В The correct codes are entered into the вЂњtoggle.phpвЂќ file, and everything is set. The last step was to write some custom software. He also installed Apache and PHP to create a web interface for switching the outlets. He then installed Wiring Pi, which gives you the ability to interface with the GPIO pins in a way that is similar to Arduino. began with a fresh installation of Raspbian. Then the transmitter needs two GPIO pins while the receiver only needs one. There are only four wires.В There are power and ground wires for each module. He also purchased a SMAKN 433MHz RF receiver and transmitterВ for communicating with the wireless outlet switches.В The wiring for the modules is pretty simple. decided to use a Raspberry Pi as the brains of the controller. just needed to find a way to bridge the gap between the RF remote and WiFi. Instead, they come with an RF controller. These are kind of like the WeMo, only they arenвЂ™t controlled via WiFi. HeВ started out by purchasing a five pack of Etekcity wireless remote control outlet switches.

He looked into purchasing a WeMo but he realized that he could build something even betterВ with more bang for his buck. Was looking for a way to control his power outlets using WiFi.
