I have a very simple 433Mhz remote controlling a retractable patio awning.
3 commands “UP” “DOWN” “STOP”
Generic Chinese remote. No brand, markings or FCC ID.
I have OpenMQTTGateway running on a hacked Sonoff RFBridge (Pilight)
I want to transmit the remote codes via the Sonoff Bridge so I can get rid of the remote and control the awning via Home Assistant.
The remote signals aren’t decoded on existing protocols
SRFB : nothing decoded/no raw signal captured.
Pilight : nothing decoded; can only capture raw signal, however I get a sequence of 5 different raw decodes within a second for a single button press (the remote led blinks half a second)

When I try to re-send the captured signals, it generates a much longer (time wise) signal than the original button (same button but different sample than above)

I haven’t installed the awning yet to test it but this doesn’t look right at first glance…
I also managed to generate a flex decoder with RTL-433 but not sure if If there’s a way to use their format/parameters to send in OMG.
More details here: https://groups.google.com/g/rtl_433/c/AgcIjjnwz1w
Let me know what you think,
how should I troubleshoot this / best course of action.
Thanks!
