rf-switch and 315mhz transmitter is a no go?

You have the kit with transmitter and receiver (with decoder chip) at 315MHz ?

And do you also have a 315MHz receiver ?
That receiver is connected to the Arduino ?

In the photo I see a SC2272 decoder chip on the receiver board.
The transmitter has probably a SC2262 inside.
Did you run the example sketch of RCswitch that recognizes the protocol and the timings ?
