As Paul was quick to notice Cortex 26.8.1 now provides support for the new RTX-401 module. This is a single pattress format 433.92MHz transmitter which supports the HomeEasy radio protocol. I can't say that this would be our choice of radio protocol but may represent an adequate low cost solution for some non critical applications - until we get our act together on something more to our liking...
It being an IDRANet module and integrated into Cortex makes it more useful than a simple radio transmitter. What it means is that compatible HomeEasy products immediately inherit the powerful automation and integration features inherent to Cortex - meaning they are treated pretty much the same as similar Cortex objects with most of the usual connectivity, functions, mobile access and so on, and also in Reflex mode other IDRANet modules will be able to send commands directly to HomeEasy devices. There are inherent limitations imposed by the radio protocol and the devices themselves but as I say, for some simple extensions to the IDRANet system no doubt this module will prove useful.
