RFLink Gateway is an Arduino Mega firmware that allows two-way communication with a multitude of RF wireless devices using cheap hardware (Arduino + transceiver). The 433 MHz spectrum is used by many manufacturers mostly using their own protocol/standard and includes devices like: light switches, blinds, weather stations, alarms and various other sensors. RFLink Gateway supports a number of RF frequencies, using a wide range of low-cost hardware. [Their website](http://www.rflink.nl/blog2/) provides details for various RF transmitters, receivers and transceiver modules for 433MHz, 868MHz and 2.4 GHz. -
