-CUL 433 is a generic radio transceiver with a CPU and a radio transceiver circuit. +[[http://busware.de/tiki-index.php?page=CUL|CUL 433]] is a generic radio transceiver with a CPU and a radio transceiver circuit, which is manufactured and sold by [[http://shop.busware.de/|busware.de]]. The CUL device connects to a PC with an USB-connection. The 433MHz band is used by a many remote switches and wireless thermometers, so with a radio transmitter on this band a lot of devices can be controlled.
  
-NetHomeServer interfaces with the CUL transceiver via the [[cultransceiver | CULTransceiver]]-interface module using specific NetHome firmware on the CUL stick+The CUL hardware supports both reception and transmission, but currently only transmission is fully supported via NetHomeServer. I have not been able to get good enough quality on the reception yet. 
 + 
 +===== Firmware ===== 
 +The CUL 433 device requires firmware (for the on board ATMega32U4 processor). There is a separate NetHome project for firmware for this device and this is available as open source (GPL2). The firmware is a generic puls sender/pulse receiver without any internal decoders. The decoders/encoders are in the NetHomeServer, and the CUL-device is used to send the encoded messages and to receive the raw pulse trains to be decoded in the NetHomeServer. 
 + 
 +Instructions on how to install the firmware can be found [[installculfirmware|here]]. 
 + 
 +===== Controlled Devices ===== 
 +NetHomeServer interfaces with the CUL transceiver via the [[cultransceiver | CULTransceiver]]-Item. Via the CUL device the Nexa and X10-devices can be controlled and via Pronto codes virtually and device that uses pulse encoding on the 433MHz band. 
 + 
 +The CUL 433 can also tap in on the [[powermid|PowerMid radio protocol]], enabling it to also send the messages as IR and thereby controlling appliances like DVD-Players.
