I am using 433mhz module to control light switches with my raspberry pi by using 433utils library. I was trying to control livolo brand light switches but it wont work with that library. in this github there is a source code that should do the work but i can't make the transmitter part to work: https://github.com/rafflesgun/smarthome does any one ever did this kind of project?

Ironically I emailed you earlier for help :). But I have actually figured out how to quickly pair livolo switches using python and only a raspberry pi. Check it out if you like.
I solved livolo light switch using this technique and it can be applied to many livolo switches and you DON'T need a remote!
You simply put your light switch into discovery mode (hold down switch for 5 seconds). After the switch beeps, run
python livolo.py on
You should hear your switch beep again, and that will mean it is paired!
'OFF' is actually ALL OFF, so that should work out of box!
python livolo.py off

I used the library in LamPI-3.x and it's working fine for me https://github.com/platenspeler/LamPI-3.x/tree/master/transmitters/livolo
It's the same transmitter code but more updated. I also used the flag -r 200 to add more repeats as the livolo didn't catch the signal with the default 100 repeats.
