Hi. I have a lot of experience with Arduino, but I'm brand-new to RF. I have a device that is remote controlled by this RF transmitter/receiver/switch: http://www.skylinkhome.com/products/wireless-plug-In-control-ws-100
I would like to replace the pushbutton transmitter with one that I can control through software and an Arduino. I have read countless posts about 315 and 433 MHz RX/TX components and ways to sniff RF signals. I'm pretty sure I could figure out how to code the signal and handle the software side.
I'm not so confident about the hardware. I researched the FCC documentation on the transmitter above (KUTWS100T) and found:
Frequency Range: 304.8 to 314.1 MHz
Output Impedance: 50 Ohms
Modulation type: F2X
I couldn't find any info on the receiver without cracking open the case (it's glued).
Given that the upper limit of the transmitter is so close to 315 MHz, is it likely that the receiver would respond to a widely available 315 MHz module that I could connect to the Arduino? Having no prior experience, I don't know how much tolerance these receiver frequency designations typically have.
Sorry if this is a stupid question.
Thanks,
Steve
