Hello forum,
I could really do with a RF 433khz transmitter/receiver module for my home automation project. ZigBee, X10, Bluetoogh, wifi, what have you, when one needs to replace 20+ AC outlets these kind of things add up $-wise… 433 khz wireless is an ideal low-cost solution, even though I’ll probably have to program and set up some signal repeaters throughout the house.
Has anyone made RF 433khz work with a Gadgeteer mainboard…?
Thanks for your time.
Morten
@ harleydk - Have you checked out codeshare?
@ Davef Hello,
I have indeed checked out codeshare and came across this a piece which directed me towards this page, http://nrf24l01.codeplex.com/, which is a great inspiration and probably the way I’ll end up going. It doesn’t describe connecting to a mainboard and such, which would be comforting for one who’s better at the software rather than the hardware side of things. I suppose what I was hoping for was just that, more of a how-to guide. I suppose that’s for me to write when I get to the other side of this project! 
This may be of service - your would need to use a Gadgeteer Extender module.

I believe that Grailin and GHI were working on a Nordic based module.
@ harleydk - If your using Gadgeteer connecting up should not be a problem for you.
Keep in mind guys, that NRF24L01+ is NOT 433Mhz.
This code: http://www.tinyclr.com/codeshare/entry/35 can easily be adapted for Gadgeteer.

@ Eric thanks a lot, I was searching codeshare for “433” and “rf” respectively, but not together! So didn’t find that one, thanks for the link.
Althought the NRF24L01+ is not a 433Mhz it’ll probably be the way to go for yours truly, as the codeplex page describes the wiring in detail - that’s one thing the other codeshare entry does not cover, and I’m afraid I’m better with the software than with the hardware, so am in need of a bit of inspiration on the wiring part.
