The Energenie Pi-mote Control Starter Kit lets you wirelessly control mains-powered appliances from a Raspberry Pi. The kit includes a 433 MHz RF transmitter board that connects to the Pi's GPIO header and two remote-controlled plug sockets, giving you programmable on/off control of lights, fans, heaters, and other devices from up to 30 metres away.
Control is handled via simple Python scripts, making it accessible for beginners and powerful enough for advanced home automation projects.

Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- GPIO
- General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
- RF
- RF means radio frequency, referring to signals used for wireless communication and other high-frequency electronics. A low-noise, stable power supply is important for RF circuits because power noise can affect signal quality and measurements.
