433mhz transmitter

Request a feature that you would like to see in QLC+.
Explain in details why you would need it and which is your usage case.

Hey,
is it possible to support 433mhz transmitter to control radio controlled sockets? (I hope you know what I mean.)

No I don't. ZigBee? Z-Wave? EnOcean? Thread?
Please provide all the details otherwise this will simply be ignored

I need it to control some selfmade lamps.
my idea is:
1. connect a receiver and create a profile with the specific on/off commands
2. connect the transmitter and add a fixture which is connected to the profile

I think this makes sense in raspberry pi edition.

You know you are asking things in a forum related to QLC+ which is a controlling software for artistic / structural lighting mainly based on the DMX protocol?
And you are asking questions about funcksteckdosen? Be serious man...

I know this is the forum about qlc+....
but this feature would be nice to have a simple and cheap solution to switch lights on/off remote-controlled.
I use qlc+ to control some additional dmx lights in our church. The pre-installed electric is controlled via this technic (433mhz remote control with simple on/off buttons for the lights.)but it would be nice to control everything from qlc+

In that case I suggest you go and have a look with the German friends of ip-symcon.de - they are more domotica oriented.

I totally agree this question does NOT belong in the QLC+ forum !

QLC+ is intended to control DMX devices, so if you want to control non DMX devices with QLC+ you somehow have to translate DMX to your devices.

I suggest you have look at the Arduino forums, they have libraries to read DMX and they have libraries to control domestic devices (including most 433Mhz devices), so it should be easy to use an arduino to control your devices via DMX !

(The challenge is to find a reliable arduino DMX library, since most of them really suck ! And I can recommend using an Arduino DUE or at least an ATmega 2560 for this purpose, the ATmega 328 based boards are not really suitable for this task)
:geek: Software is the stuff that makes Hardware flexible ! :lol:
