Adam Dalliance on Nostr: I have installed some new lights, and they each come with an identical-looking but ...
I have installed some new lights, and they each come with an identical-looking but apparently differently encoded remote controls. The remotes control only one lamp each.
Not infra-red as I had assumed until just now it seems. Signal hasno trouble passing through walls. Surprising.
Anyone know if there's a way to capture the signals from those remotes and install some USB device on my computer that can repeat them?
I figured there would be when I assumed they were infra-red remotes, coz surely a infra-red flasher/recorder is easy, but now I suspect it's probably some encoded encrypted wifi-band signal or something that there's no hope of intercepting.
