Enerctl

Transmit control sequences to legacy Energenie 433 MHz radio controlled wall sockets with a Raspberry Pi and ENER314 Pi-mote control board.

Dependencies

• The Raspberry Pi GPIO module
  python3 -m pip install RPi.GPIO

Usage

Initialisation

1. Connect the transmitter board to the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins, ensuring correct alignment.
2. Plug the Energenie radio controlled plug into a wall socket. If using multiple plugs, ensure they are spaced at least 2 metres from each other to limit signal interference.
3. Ensure the unit is in factory state to enable its learning mode.
4. Any valid control code will pair the unit to the respective transmitter. A unit can pair with up to 2 transmitters. The transmitter can control 4 units at once.
5. When a code is accepted, the socket's red LED will flash quickly and then extinguish

Enerctl console

Enter the console for enerctl with python3 main.py. At the prompt, enter a command and hit return. To exit, use quit.

Help can be provided with help:

COMMAND [OPTION]...
Send COMMAND to a legacy Energenie 433 MHz radio controlled wall socket.

Commands:
  cmd SEQUENCE   Send a custom 4-bit binary code to the socket
  off [SOCKET]   Turn SOCKET off
  on [SOCKET]    Turn SOCKET on

Miscellaneous:
  h, help        Display this help message
  q, quit        Exit the console

Omitting the socket number means on/off commands will be accepted by all
sockets within range of the transmitter.

Examples:
  on
  cmd 1001
  off 3
