Hello,
This project is really interesting ;o)
My current setup:
3 valves controlled by a Gardena Wireless Control System
Specification could be found here:
RF Receiver: http://www.gardena.com/de/bewasserung/gartenteich/funkempfanger-r4/
RF Transmitter: http://www.gardena.com/de/bewasserung/bewasserungssteuerung/funkzentrale/
The setup communicates through 433 Mhz.
Therefore I would like to ask, if I could use this setup (the Receiver) to control the valves via the opensprinkler PI?
With my understanding of the aboved mentioned steps I have to to the following:
1) Screen the signals send by the transmitter
2) Add a new RF transmitter to the Opensprinkler PI
3) Set up a python script to control the valves via the PI GPIO4
Thanks for your support.
Kind regards from Berlin (Germany)
