2. RFXtrx general information
The RFXtrx transceivers and RFXrec receivers are communicating over an USB port with the
Home Automation application. The RFXtrx/rec is powered by the USB port.
At startup the RFXtrx enters for 2 seconds the boot loader (red LED is on) and after this it starts
the receive/transmit firmware. If valid (decode-able) packets are received the yellow LED will
blink.
The RFXtrx315 and the RFXrec433 are mainly for use in the US. The RFXtrx315 can receive
US X10 lighting and security sensors
or
US Visonic PowerCode sensors at 315MHz.
The RFXrec433 can receive weather sensors of different brands at 433.92MHz.
The RFXtrx433 is a transceiver (tranreceiver) and can receive and control a large
number of sensors and other devices.
The RFXtrx433E is an extended RFXtrx433 transceiver with additional memory and non-volatile
memory for Somfy RTS codes and configuration settings.
The RFXtrx433XL is the next generation version with double size memory and a serial
connection for the Dutch and French smart meters.

Important:
it is only possible to enable one protocol for receive in the RFXtrx868X and
RFXtrx868XL because of the used transmission techniques at 868MHz.
