The `rflink` component support devices that use [Rflink gateway firmware](http://www.nemcon.nl/blog2/), for example the [Nodo Rflink Gateway](https://www.nodo-shop.nl/nl/21-rflink-gateway). Rflink gateway is an Arduino firmware that allows communication with 433 Mhz devices using cheap hardware (Arduino + 433 Mhz tranceiver).

Rflink gateway is firmware for the Arduino MEGA 2560 that allows communication with 433 Mhz devices using cheap hardware (Arduino + 433 Mhz tranceiver).
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.

Other methods of exposing the serial interface over TCP are possible (eg: ESP8266 or using Arduino Wifi shield). Basically the serial stream should be directly mapped to the TCP stream.

Tested with Wifi serial bridge [esp-link V2.2.3](https://github.com/jeelabs/esp-link/releases/tag/v2.2.3) running on a NodeMCU (ESP8266 Wifi module) with ESP8266 TXD0 (pin D10) and RXD0 (pin D9) connected to Arduino MEGA 2560 RX (Pin 2) and TX (Pin 3) respectively.
<p class='note warning'>
Due to different logical levels, a voltage level shifter is required between the 3.3V NodeMCU and 5V Arduino MEGA 2560 pins.
</p>
<p class='note'>
When re-flashing the Arduino MEGA, disconnect the ESP8266 to avoid programming difficulties.
