Making your RF 433mhz sensors and devices communicate with your home automation, gateways comparison

After more than one year of usage of home automation (HA) I have seen that one critical point is the communication between the sensors/devices and the HA system. 

 There is several possibilities for that:
  • Infrared
  • 5,8ghz
  • 2,4ghz
  • 867mhz
  • 433mhz
  • wire
  • ...
And for each of these possibility we can have a huge amount of different protocols. The goal of this article is to draft a list of the 433mhz gateways that can be found. We will focus on 433mhz due to the fact that in european countries 433mhz devices/sensors are quite easy to find and with a correct price.

We will take the following citerias:
  • Price
  • DIY complexity
  • Number of protocols taken into account
  • Complexity of home automation integration
And take a look at RFXCom, RFLink, 433toMQTTto433 ESP8266, 433Utils, Broadlink RM... I will put in green the keypoints of each gateway.

E&R = 433mhz emitter and receiver, can be a FS1000A and a XD-RF-5V or a superheterodyne one (recommended)

    Have a look to Nodo (cheap RFLink) : https://www.nodo-shop.nl/en/21-rflink-gateway

    I have a Broadling RmPro and you miss an important advantage or two. It has built in support for IOS/Android control. It also supports 315MHz which as additional common standard for many shutter/blind/gate controls.

    For RFlink: http://www.nemcon.nl/blog2/devlist
    It supports over 100 protocols.
    It supports 315, 433, 868mhz and 2.4 Ghz depending on the modules you add to it..

    Have a look at https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433/blob/master/README.md.

    It's good for receiving data.

    Thank you for compiling the list.
    Do you know if this USB RF Transceiver can be controlled with OpenHAB?
