Remote outlets, AVIDSEN and CHACON


Remote Control AVIDSEN (103107)

ON OFF
A 265353 265349
B 266325 266321
C 266649 266645
D 266757 266753
E 266793 266789

period 150
















Remote Control CHACON (EMW200RC)

ON OFF
1 164023 164022
2 172771 172770
3 175687 175686
4 176659 176658

period 360

(Note: you may have to try different period intervals, only this worked for me, and it is different from what i get in show_received_code program from RemoteSwitch Library)













How control remote outlets with Arduino ?

1 - Get an RF 433Mhz transmitter module
2 - Install RemoteSwitch library
3 - Connect module to PIN 4
4 - Upload program with the right codes













#include <RemoteSwitch.h>


#define OUTLET_A_ON 265353
#define OUTLET_A_OFF 265349
#define PERIOD 150;

#define RF_TX_PIN 4

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
Serial.println("Sending off");
transmit(OUTLET_A_OFF);
delay(5000);

Serial.println("Sending on");
transmit(OUTLET_A_ON);
delay(5000);
}

void transmit(unsigned long rcode){
unsigned long code = rcode;
unsigned long period = PERIOD;
code |= (unsigned long)period << 23;
code |= 3L << 20;
RemoteSwitch::sendTelegram(code, RF_TX_PIN); // RF transmitter pin
}

redmine installation problem

i was trying to install redmine from the link:

Got this problem:
genbox:~# gem install -v=2.3.5 rails
ERROR: could not find gem rails locally or in a repository

This fixed:
wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/74343/rubygems-1.5.3.tgz
tar -xf rubygems*tgz
cd rubygems*
ruby setup.rb
ln -s /usr/bin/gem1.8 /usr/bin/gem
