I'm wondering if anyone has any insights of HC-12 vs nRF24L01. I have extensive experience of the former and none of the latter (although I've skimmed thru the datasheet). From what I've just researched:
Are there any other draw-backs to nRF24L01 vs HC-12? I'm considering dipping into nRF24L01 so I can tailor the pulsed operation to my requirements but I'm sure other people have experience of both so can give better perspective. Any tailored pulsed operation of HC-12 is not viable due to the long delay required to wake from SLEEP, whereas nRF24L01 wakes from PowerDown in 1.5ms.
I've already seen this thread. yes the range of HC-12 is great thru walls to a shed at the end of the garden. I don't know how nRF24L02 would fair in this scenario though https://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/threads/hc-12-or-nrf24l01-pa-lna-module.137414/

- Range of HC-12 is better (owing to lower frequency)
- Similar size pcbs but nRF24L01 is a *lot* cheaper and has better datasheet.
- nRF24L01 is more bare-bones. HC-12 has wrapped up config access via commands.
- HC-12 has in-built power-saving modes (AT+FU2) whereas these would need to be implemented by the user for nRF24L01
