Learning 433

henrymclean

Good Afternoon,

I am trying to add a 433 RF Light switch to Homey. I have read all the posts on here and tried the suggested similar apps to see if they work but no joy.  

I found the 433 recording tool on https://developer.athom.com/tools/signals and downloaded my VCD file.

How do I now go about using this? Any guide or pointers would be great!

Many Thanks,

henrymclean

Guess not

Same here, downloaded the VCD and opened in GTKwave, but it's blank, even though the raw file has a lot of data (some junk probably). 

Edit:
Figured it out, needed to click "Insert". 

Well... How do I go from here?

No idea, gave up

This is how far I came:
Start GTKwave.exe , Load your file via File/OpenNewTab choose your file
Then select (file)Homey, click-right on this file then you see Recurse Import then click Append and see the file waves,
Please let us know if you found a way to get further.

Ah cool thanks - then how to use it :-s

Think it's easier to use

I didn't come any further either with the new record-methods...

JPe

did somebody find anywhere a description of the "new" record-method via  https://developer.athom.com/tools/signals

Nope, I assumed if it records it there must be a way to then use it. Otherwise what’s the point?
