RF transmitter and receiver question

I am trying to make a simple wireless button mechanism. I want to press a button on a battery operated project box and it send signal to another project box (in this example this project box just has a receiver attached to a battery and an LED). In this example, I’ll say I want to press the button on the transmitter box, and the receiver box with light up. I feel like this is something simple to do, but I’m having trouble. I just recently bought a 433mhz RF transm/receiver kit for arduino:

I don’t want to use it with an arduino though. I thought I could work around it. Is the thing I’m trying to do possible with the RF kit I purchased?

I’ve done a few Macgyver projects but I’m not a pro at electronics.

With those simple tx/rx boards, an encoder and decoder is required. Either use two Arduinos or the PT2262 and PT2272 chips. Or buy this: https://www.adafruit.com/product/1095
