RF-433 RF-868 CommunityApp

Who can create an 433 or 866 app for me? I miss some competences for the last steps in the process

With this post -originated here - I hope that a community member can help me (and others) by creating an app. 

Situation:
Currently I have my sliding gate automated by a DEA Livi Sliding Gate Engine, this can be controlled via RF and a besides via a button in the Shed. I automated it via Gogogate, which is a nice but
- a slow work around opening my garden gate. 
- not integrated in Homey but a separated app
- confusing since Gogogate can "push the button once"... In consecutive order it's open, close, open, close.... but in cases the gate only needs to be opened a meter or accidentally doesn't open because of a little stone or something.... it's a bit stupid in that sense. With the RF controller you can push single (open, close or stop current action) double for reverse

Desired solution:
Have an app in Homey to open and close the gate.

What I did myself:

Reinier posted this blog, https://blog.athom.com/2016/08/07/making-rf-work-433-868-mhz-homey , clearly showing monitoring/learning tools.
So is there a way to just see the detected 433  signals  that are not associated with an APP yet?

The learning/monitor tools were before on the github issue tracker:

Awesome 433/868 MHz tools are on it's way :-) With raw data recording, target frequency support etc. etc.

I like to use this to analyse some old remote temperature sensors and create grahs for them in homey...
Did you already take a look at the developers.athom.com under tools and then signals where you can record 433  
Yes I did, ended up with this string of numbers, downloaded GTKWave and than got lost:

198,1000,327,905,358,466,805,466,807,464,820,457,816,454,828,453,827,457,826,455,827,454,818,872,391,14214,376,895,358,884,379,466,808,470,810,464,828,454,832,450,834,458,831,454,829,462,834,454,832,870,385,3516,379,902,355,884,376,476,807,470,819,470,824,457,837,457,836,448,837,457,840,448,843,457,829,872,396,14293,374,909,360,886,372,490,797,475,822,465,830,464,827,464,832,466,831,464,839,455,840,464,826,884,394,3564,388,894,370,893,369,476,819,461,833,457,836,467,829,462,838,464,833,466,840,464,836,457,835,886,384,14342,390,894,368,22752,42,31,883,10,125,402


So any help from here is appreciated



Where do I need help:
Give me the right instructions in the steps to take, guide me
- eg. "record RF button" "record RF button twice buttonpush" 
- With that you convert the code (decode it to 1 and 0 ) and make an app for it -> https://developer.athom.com/docs/apps/tutorial-Signals.html //  https://github.com/athombv/node-homey-rfdriver// https://github.com/athombv/homey-rfdriver-examples
- .....
- Share images or whatever is needed to publish an app
- I can test this alpha version
- I can share feedback

What to offer:
- let's share contact details to make a commercial agreement on this. Seeing the reactions on the -originated here -post there is a clear demand for support on this.

    well that will be a very hard job , it uses a rolling code coding. so even if you know what is send it is encrypted,

  • Hi
    Building on what wdool says, it will also help on those guidelines (if possible) to show best app to copy from those already available in github and then explain exactly on what parts are needed to make the changes to adapt it to the device you need and the RF used by your device

    As for the Nattelip comment..if I had found a way to decrypt the specific signals sent by each button on my RF remote control..would it be easier to find an app to use them with?
  • would be very helpfull
    I'm planning on building an app for NICE motors (cfr somfy) + programming knowhow.
    But few hours te figure it all out.

    I am very glad to see that you are trying to make an app for these motors. Unfortunatly I don't have the knowledge myself to make this app. Thank you for trying.

    Looking forward to learn more about developing on Homey.
    Also got stuck on the recording part :)
    Personally I believe a Youtube video would be awesome.
  • Need to look into this myself. I’m messing around with a linear actuator and a 433 MHz latching relay controller (relay A/B switching to invert voltage). 
    Even though I could easily control with Arduino or ESP8266, I’d like to see if I can create an app instead. AFAIK this exact model has learning code, so it should be simpler. 

    This is is something I’d love to see tutorial/guides for!
    Will check out what’s already available.

    I tried recording 433MHz. First I saved a VCD when I did nothing, and did get a lot of data anyways (probably a lot of 433MHz transmitters in the building). Then I tried with pressing the remote maybe 10 times, and did get loads of data.
    Tried again with only 2 presses each time (both for unlock and lock) in separate VCD files.

    Downloaded GTKwave, but I get nothing when loading the VCD... It's blank...?

    Edit: Forgot to click "Insert"  :s

    Still pretty lost from here though... 
    Even though the recording is approx 5 seconds, I only get a few hundred ms of data?

    Hi @Nattelip hard job, or impossible? I went over the documentation of Microchip.... In Dutch... "ik haakte af" 
    I would pay for a solution, but cannot find a developer for this :-)
