# A gateway for 433 MHz devices
It uses [rc_switch](https://github.com/sui77/rc-switch) library for controlling wall sockets.
It uses [rc_switch](https://github.com/sui77/rc-switch) library for controlling wall sockets and receiving data from sensors. The library supports multiple protocols, the ones used by this gateway are:
- Protocol 1, 2, 4, and 5 for wall switches
- Protocol 2 for sensors
- It can be extended to support more protocols
It supports receiving:
- serial commands for controlling wall switches - all protocols
- RC commands from wall switches remotes - protocols 1 and 2
- sensors states over `Protocol 2`
It works with 2 possible hardwares: Arduino Pro Mini and ESP8266 (currently in use). The code specific to each microcontroller is activated using `#define` directive:
``` C
#if defined(ESP8266)
#include "huzzah.h"
#else
#include "pro-mini.h"
#endif
It acts as a serial gateway, communicating in JSON format, and it is connected to a Raspberry Pi running Home Assistant.
```
## Serial communication using Arduino Pro Mini
It works with an Arduino Pro Mini 5v 16 Mhz, where the original bootloader has been replaced with Optiboot using this tutorial: https://andreasrohner.at/posts/Electronics/How-to-make-the-Watchdog-Timer-work-on-an-Arduino-Pro-Mini-by-replacing-the-bootloader/

It is used as a serial gateway communicating in JSON format, when connected to a Raspberry Pi running Home Assistant.
## Receive RC
### Sensors
Sensors transmit state using `Protocol 2` and the gateway translates them into JSON over serial.
##### Protocol structure
### Mode of operation:
- it receives commands in JSON format over serial and translates them into RC commands to be sent to wall switches: ON/OFF
- it receives sates from sensors, or RC commands from RC remotes, and translates them into JSON, which is written on `Serial` to be consumed by HA
## MQTT communication using ESP8266
It works with any ESP8266 board, an [Adafruit Huzzah](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-huzzah-esp8266-breakout) in this case.
It is used as a gateway communicating in JSON format with Home Assistant, by publishing and subscribing to topics on MQTT. Devices on Home Assistant side are configured automatically using [MQTT discovery](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mqtt/#configuration-via-mqtt-discovery).
### Mode of operation:
- it receives commands over MQTT and translates them into RC commands to be sent to wall switches: ON/OFF
- it receives sates from sensors, or RC commands from RC remotes, translates them into JSON and updates devices in HA by publishing messages on MQTT
## Sensors
Sensors transmit state using `Protocol 2`, a 32 bit unsigned number.
