Questions about capturedBinary

[geekdave]

Hello!

First of all, thank you so much for the great tutorial, and for sharing this code! I was able to get everything working quickly.

I am working on extending this project further, and sending the sensor data to a prometheus timeseries database, and graphing it with grafana. I'll share the blog post when I've got it all working properly. (I'm almost there!)

I had a couple of questions about this:

        // First bit in capturedBinary represents the sensor identifier
        std::string sensor = capturedBinary.substr(0, 8);

1. Is this possibly a typo, where it should say First byte instead of First bit?
2. Do you have any ideas about what the remaining bytes/bits represent? I seemed to notice that the remaining bits remained constant unless I moved the sensor to a different location, which leads me to believe that perhaps part of them represent signal strength.

Thanks!
Dave

Sounds like a neat project! Glad my guide has helped. I'm not sure about your questions but this post may have the answer. https://rayshobby.net/wordpress/reverse-engineer-wireless-temperature-humidity-rain-sensors-part-2/
