NAME

rfxcom-tx - simple example script to control an RFXCOM RF transmitter

VERSION

version 1.142010

SYNOPSIS

  # send x10 a1/on command via USB tty device
  echo type=x10 command=on device=a1 | rfxcom-tx /dev/ttyUSB0

  # send homeeasy message via a USB device with helpful name,
  # see Device::RFXCOM::TX(3)
  echo type=homeeasy command=on address=0x3333 unit=1 | \
    rfxcom-tx /dev/rfxcom-tx

  # read commands to send from stdin and send them via a
  # network/wireless device, disable x10 (which defaults to on)
  rfxcom-tx 10.0.0.1:10001 x10=0

DESCRIPTION

This script is an example of the usage of the Device::RFXCOM::TX API. It simply initializes the transmitter and reads messages specifications from stdin. The keys and values given on the command line become the parameter hash for the Device::RFXCOM::TX constructor and are documented in that module.
