Is this referring to the original RFToy? (which has plugs for both 433M/315M transmitter and 2.4G transceiver) The current version of RFToy only support 433M/315M transmitter and no longer has plug for 2.4G transceiver; on the other hand, it has built-in WiFi for web-based control.

Yes this is supported by OpenSprinkler, by using a 433MHz RF transmitter. You need to get an RFToy, which include a pair of transmitter, receiver, and the RFToy gadget which you can use to decode the RF signal.

Most likely it’s because your remotes are using a protocol that’s not supported. The best case is if it’s a protocol that RCSwitch library supports (RFToy assumes it’s protocol 1 but RCSwitch library supports two other types). This is fairly easy to get supported since it just requires changing the RFToy firmware code slightly. But if it’s not any of the existing documented protocol then we will have to look at the raw sampling signal to check what’s the encoding pattern.

Garage remotes generally don’t work because they use rolling code (one-time code) for security reasons.
