RFXCOM 433MHz Receiver - RS232. Build your own???
All,
I am very sorry if this is the wrong forum to ask such a question... please be gentle!
OK here goes - I have seen the RFXCOM devices that allow signals from Electrisave, Owl, Weatherstations, X10 RF etc (using the 433MHz frequency) to be picked up and decoded onto a PC via USB but they are not cheap - i.e. 120 GBP upwards.
Bearing in mind the relatively low cost of 433MHz transceivers I wondered if anyone has attempted to replicate the functionality of the RFXCOM but for a much lower price?
So effectively I am looking for something that plugs into RS232 or USB listening on the 433MHz frequency and capturing any data for use within home automation applications.
Appreciate your help.
