Gollum: One (RF) remote control to rule them all
Gollum is a programmable RF hacking tool controlled by your smartphone. It is connected & programmed with your smartphone using Bluetooth Smart.
Gollum primary purpose is to be a re-configurable RF remote control, used to control any garage door opener, roller shutter, etc…
But it can also sniff & display RF data from your existing remote controls or transmit whatever data you want.
Gollum replaces various existing remote controls from different brands and models.
Gollum works in standalone mode – it has a battery inside, or directly under smartphone control.
Gollum is also evolutive, open hardware and open API.
Additionally, Gollum allows you to save your RF devices & share control with whoever you want.
