Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

For several years I've been using a couple of the Altronics Mains Remote Control Switches around the house that provides 8 channels & runs at the usual 433 MHz. Cost for controller and one remote is less than A$20.

Started looking at hacking the code to extend the range & found this link where it has already been done as follows for an Arduino but then the code will be similar for other controllers:
