Hi Raspberry Pi Community,

I would like to use radio remote’s control to trigger an events on my Raspberry pi.

I guess I’ll go with 433Mhz as I believe they are the most common available ?

So I will need a 433Mhz RX/TX Module to connect on the GPIO, so far I get it…

But how properly secure the communication between those remotes and the RPI to avoid any anyone to sniff the transmitting and replay it. In other words spoof it.

Wubba Lubba dub-dub…

    You’d use one of the rolling code mechanisms like in a keyless entry system, garage door opener or a car key fob. Maybe symmetric or asymmetric cryptography instead or on top. Depends on the exact use-case. But you’d have to build the remote yourself, I don’t think that’s in the readily available consumer products.

    If you want it less complicated, have a look at Bluetooth or ESP-NOW. Wifi and Bluetooth and other protocols have encryption handled for you.

      Thanks hendrik

      So it their Bluetooth or WiFi remote pilot existing for that ?
