Remote outlets, AVIDSEN and CHACON

Remote Control AVIDSEN (103107)

ON OFF
A 265353 265349
B 266325 266321
C 266649 266645
D 266757 266753
E 266793 266789

period 150

Remote Control CHACON (EMW200RC)

ON OFF

1 164023 164022
2 172771 172770
3 175687 175686
4 176659 176658

period 360

(Note: you may have to try different period intervals, only this worked for me, and it is different from what i get in show_received_code program from RemoteSwitch Library)

How control remote outlets with Arduino ?

1 - Get an RF 433Mhz transmitter module

2 - Install RemoteSwitch library

3 - Connect module to PIN 4

4 - Upload program with the right codes

#include <RemoteSwitch.h>



#define OUTLET_A_ON 265353

#define OUTLET_A_OFF 265349

#define PERIOD 150;



#define RF_TX_PIN 4



void setup() {

Serial.begin(9600);

}



void loop() {

Serial.println("Sending off");

transmit(OUTLET_A_OFF);

delay(5000);



Serial.println("Sending on");

transmit(OUTLET_A_ON);

delay(5000);

}



void transmit(unsigned long rcode){

unsigned long code = rcode;

unsigned long period = PERIOD;

code |= (unsigned long)period << 23;

code |= 3L << 20;

RemoteSwitch::sendTelegram(code, RF_TX_PIN); // RF transmitter pin

}
