Hello,
I have downloaded the 433Utils zip file but when attempting to import into the Arduino IDE I get the following error

Arduino: 1.8.5 (Windows Store 1.8.10.0) (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"

Specified folder/zip file does not contain a valid library

Hope someone can advise
Regards

That's because it's not a library. From https://github.com/ninjablocks/433Utils/blob/master/README.md:

It consists of two main sections- Arduino sketches and Raspberry Pi command line utilities.

Just unzip the downloaded file, then use the Arduino IDE's File > Open menu to open any of the sketches in the Arduino_sketches subfolder. Note the other part of the Installation Instructions you evidently didn't read:

Install any required libraries:
Arduino rc_switch library

That library you will be able to install via the Arduino IDE's Sketch > Include Library > Add .ZIP Library...

Thanks for the response, I fortunately had realised that was the problem after deciphering the readme.md file but thanks anyway and also thanks for your admonition on what I read or didn't read. Always good to get advice from those who know so much more than us newcomers as it makes us feel so welcome.
Regards
