Arduino and Radio Controller Sockets

I have bought a kit by avidsen including a socket and a remote.

My goal was twice. I wanted to control avidsen sockets using an arduino and to get commands from a avidsen remote.

For that I have taken a set of RX and TX 433.92Mhz modules. This kind of modules are very common on e-bay.

They are usually provided without an antenna: they need a 17.3 cm wire soldered to the ANT labelled terminal.

There is already a library named RC-Switch. It can be downloaded from github. This is its latest release: https://github.com/sui77/rc-switch/releases/tag/v2.52.
