It bridges the gap between RFXtrx hardware and Python applications, allowing you to receive events from wireless sensors and control RF-enabled devices. The library handles serial communication with the device via pyserial and parses incoming RF packets into usable Python objects.\n\nThe package targets developers building custom automation logic or integrating RFXtrx devices into broader systems. It requires only pyserial as a runtime dependency and supports Python 3.9 or later, making it straightforward to integrate into existing Python projects that need RF sensor data.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you own an RFXtrx device and need Python-level control over RF signals. The library is actively maintained, has low install friction, and the copyleft license is standard for this project type. Not relevant if you don't have RFXtrx hardware."},"id":"pyrfxtrx","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyrfxtrx","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyrfxtrx.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyrfxtrx/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-18","license_spdx":"LGPL-3.0-or-later","license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"pyRFXtrx","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A library to communicate with the RFXtrx family of devices"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":74634,"position":14808,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.34.0"}
