This was amazing! This may be what I need to finally have a way to remotely control my ceiling fan. I bought an old house from the 70s back in 2007, and its where I still currently live. In my master bedroom is the only ceiling fan in my house that did not come with its remote control. This ceiling fan is a knock off brand ceiling fan, but I have ordered dozens of different ceiling fan remotes for ceiling fans that looked like mine through google searches, and every single one of these remotes did not work with my ceiling fan. The ceiling in my room is also really high, so even though I am 6 Feet tall, I still have to get up on the top of my step ladder in order to pull the chains to change the fan speed, and the chain for light is broken, so I just installed a different light in my room. I kind of gave up after the 12th time I ordered a remote and it failed to work. I already have a bunch of Broadlink devices in my house that I use to capture remote signals, so I can control RF and IR Devices over WiFi using this device, but I have never been able to figure out how to capture the signals my Ceiling fan needs to transmit the correct RF commands to it to change the fan speed or turn on or off the light or fan in it. Do you know of a way to capture the codes needed without having the remote to the ceiling fan by chance? Either way, Awesome Video man! I hope this brings in the subscriber base you deserve, I am subscribed now, and I actually found this through a Toms Hardware article that referenced your video, so hopefully that will direct more traffic your way!

I don’t know a great way to figure out the wireless commands without the remote. There’s a chance you can find the “FCC ID” inside the fan that you can then look up on the FCC’s database. You may be able to figure out manufacturer and frequency this way.

Fantastic tutorial! This was exactly what I was looking for. I was able to follow your instructions to control an old Radio Shack wireless remote switch using my Raspberry Pi. Believe it or not, without any kind of antenna plugged into the pin, it actually works within a range of up to 2 meters! I'm planning on using this technique to control the fan speed on my humidifier, but first I had to order the optional remote for it so I can eavesdrop on the signals it sends. Thanks for the video!

@@riveducha Absolutely! Thanks to your video I feel like I truly understand how those wireless remotes work, and they are surprisingly simple. Still, it was very exciting when my switch turned on for the first time from a command that I sent using the Pi. I have an air conditioner which operates using an IR remote control, so learning to controlling things with an infrared LED is on my list of things to learn next summer.

Sorry for stating, that any effort to filter out "harmonics" must fail when made this way. The wires for connecting Pi and Filter will radiate probably as much still unfiltered signal than attached antenna will radiate filtered signal - if not more than the antenna.

Yes, that was an oversight that I also mentioned in the errata webpage. Luckily the harmonics are pretty weak!

@GarryGri4 ай бұрын
You only normally need to connect one small wire to GPIO 4 to be able to send locally (a few meters, enough for testing). Cut the male end off a male to female jumper cable, it only needs to be a couple of inches long. I was able to send and receive POCSAG Pager messages, amongst other things, with this Using an original model B Pi.
