Ive been looking @ the RM for a while now for using with Homebridge, and with this I can buy it.

So does this do RF as well as IR, if so I may have brought those Arduino kits for nothing :(

Hi @1liminal1, I'm glad you found this project! I originally started it so that I, too, could use my RM device with Homebridge.

Yep, thanks to the underlying library that powers RM Control (mjg59/python-broadlink), it does both RF and IR. Personally, I use RM Control to control lights at my house that are on radio switches as well as a bunch of IR devices such as my TV, receiver, etc.

Hi Eric,

Well complete failure haha, the RM 2 is a copy, that does not actually work with the proper app, and so wont work with anything else, no RM plugin ect. Also wont work with my RF switches. Have to rethink this now.

Would you know how I can tell what RF switches are compatable. I thought just having 433 MHz would be enough... Or is it this piece of crap lol

Is what I got, any ideas?

Thanks mate!
