@amarand fun! I've been tempted, but expect I'm not really technical enough to get my money's worth out of it

@amarand I keep looking at them, but don’t have a use case, despite all the wireless crap and gadgets I have around and have built.

@kay_dub

I want to read/test my dogs’ RFID chips, and also emulate NTAG215 Chips. I had a few other use cases but basically, get your hacking stuff now while it’s still allowed. 😹

@amarand Yeah, good point.

I re-checked, and remembered why I didn't grab one before. My ceiling fans operate at 350MHz, my weather station won't work, neither will my electric gate. So most of the wireless stuff I'd want to monitor/control won't work with it.

@kay_dub

It’s sub-GHz. Are all of those things in the GHz range?

@amarand Yeah, but not for transmitting. From their "Frequencies" page, it'll only transmit on:

304.10 - 321.95 MHz
433.05 - 434.79 MHz
915.00 - 928.00 MHz

@amarand And, according to their page, the CC1101 chip and antenna can only do 300-348 MHz, 387-464 MHz, and 779-928 MHz .

So, my 350MHz ceiling fans won't even scan, much less transmit.

Weird, since obviously it's a frequency that's normally usable in the US. My Bond controller I use for home automation operates just fine on that frequency.

@kay_dub

I’m on a similar frequency for my fan remote. I’ll test mine to see if it works or not. I’m curious!

@amarand Let me know! I searched the interwebs, but found nothing.
