Description

The CMT2300A module is a 868MHz RF module. It is important to get a module which supports SPI communication. Currently only the EBYTE E49-900M20S is supported as a standalone module, or use the OpenDTUFusion integrated PCB instead.

The CMT2300A uses 3-Wire half duplex SPI communication. Due to this fact it currently requires a separate SPI bus. If you want to run the CMT2300A module on the same ESP32 as a NRF24L01+ module or a PCD8544 display make sure you get a ESP which supports 2 SPI busses. Currently the SPI bus host is hardcoded to number 2. This may change in future.

Buy your hardware from a trusted source, at best from a dealer/online shop in your country where you have support and the right to return non-functional hardware. When you want to buy from Amazon, AliExpress, eBay etc., take note that there is a lot of low-quality or fake hardware offered. Read customer comments and ratings carefully!

Pin assignment

The connection pins from the CMT2300A module to the ESP32 module can dynamically configured using Device Profiles (prefered method) or at compile time.
