Suggestions for cheap RF transmitters for wall switches?

Hi

I've been around the HA scene for a while and having great success using FHEM for controlling a mixture of systems.

However I've had real difficulty in finding what seems on the face of it something fairly simple. I've got a room with a mixture of Hue bulbs and wifi controlled lights all of which I can access through FHEM. What I want is a small RF module which I can install inside the wall switch box and connect to the switches, and use these to trigger events in FHEM.

These seem almost impossible to find. I know you can get keyfob style remotes and I suppose I could try butchering one of those, but I'd much prefer something made for the job. I've looked everywhere but can't find anything obvious.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Are asking for a transmitter that sends a signall when you push a wall switch?  There are a lot of small 433mhz modules that have power and a data pin. I dont know of anything ready built.

Also not sure, if I got your situation right.

Are you looking for something like https://www.elv.de/homematic-hm-pbi-4-fm-funk-tasterschnittstelle-4fach-unterputzmontage.html?

Afaik, there exists also a pretty similar gadget for 433MHz, but I dont' remember the name and that one is using a fairly strange protocol (but Signalduino might be capable, might need modifications to the respective protocol module).

Thanks very much for your suggestions.

Yes these are all the sort of thing I am looking for, although the prices for some of these are quite high given how simple they are!

I quite like the idea of a simple 433Mhz module to send a keypress (or switch actuation). I also prefer using latching rather than momentary switches because they are much easier to install 'stealthily' and two gang momentary switches aren't easy to find and are expensive.

I will investigate further!

Thanks

Thank you, yes something like this but ideally a bit cheaper! I have Signalduino, do you have any more info on the 433Mhz module you mention?

Hi,
I believe Intertechnos 433 MHz ITLM-1000 or ITL-230 or ITS-200 could be interesting!?

Hi,

these two devices speak intertechno and many of them work without any issue in my home:

https://www.smartwares.eu/de-de/smartwares-products/smarthome/smarthome-basic/smartwares-sh5-tsw-a-smarthome-funk-10.037.12
The cost is ~12 Euro (down to 10 Euro in some places) for the one with two switches and even less for the one with one switch (however it might be that it has the same double stuff inside and just the plastic cover is different, however I am not sure).
There exists a black one also, but I never tried it.

If you do not like the plastic cover then you can perhaps use only the stuff which is inside.
