"Outdoor temperature" transmitter for JVD Digi time clock

Primary LanguageC

Transmitter for "JVD Digi Clock" (434 MHz)

This repository hosts a transmitter that implements the "Philips-temperature" protocol used by our digi clock + thermometer combo:

JVD Digi Clock

It is a rebranded "Electronics Tomorrow LTD." model no. 7904. (according to the label on the back)

According to rtl_433 this clock's outdoor temperature sensor uses the philips_aj3650 protocol to transmit the temperature data.

The transmitter code here is targeted at an ESP32 chip augmented with a cheap 434 MHz transmitter.

More information can be found in the Putting an old digital clock (with an outdoor thermometer) on steroids article.

Wiring

All you need to do is plug Data in pin of the 433 MHz transmitter to the GPIO_NUM_5 on the ESP32:
