Is the pimote a sensible 433 tx/rx solution? As flexible as seperate modules but already packaged nicely?

Or is it rather a different beast?

Presuming you mean the Two Way PI-mote, ENER314-RT?

Hardware wise it's capable & would be a perfect product... but software wise as yet it needs a lot of work to make it vaguely usable with Domoticz. I've had to make precompiled c binaries myself just to turn the ener002 sockets that shipped with it on and off.

Support requests just point you to the rfm69w manual from HopeRf.

I abandoned it, bought an RFTRX433E & the PimoteIR to sit in it's place on the Pi.

The pimote is now on a slave pi, controlling the ener002's it came with and nothing else, down in the shed at the bottom of the garden.

Efforts are there to see it sorted... but nothing major in terms of general user friendliness.

I had accidentally ordered the 1 way version, not realising it was one way! From amazon though so trivial to return unused & get a refund.

I ended up going for the rfxtrx433e which of course works just fine for lightwaverf, and have just ordered some temp sensors to play with.
