Overview

The Sub-GHz Remote Control Dimmer reference design based on the MKW01Z128 MCU operates in a custom IEEE 802.15.4 star network for home automation applications. Users can control various RGB bulbs connected to a network using the KW01-RCD-RD board as a remote control. Controlled devices are USB-KW019032 boards, and each board simulates an RGB bulb in a GUI.

Features

• Low-cost MKW01Z128 sub-1GHz wireless node solution with an FSK, GFSK, MSK or OOK modulation-capable transceiver
• Reference design area with small footprint, low-cost RF node
  • Unbalanced input/output port
  • Flexible RF-Front End for different bands operation
  • Programmable output power from -18 dBm to +13 dBm in 1dB steps (RFIO output)
• Integrated dual band chip antenna for 800MHz and 900MHz ISM bands
• Micro-miniature coaxial connector (MMCX) for conducted RF measurements
