ProtoView (Sub-GHz)

Decode sub-GHz protocols

#receive#subghz#ook#decode#protocol

What it does

Simple

Lots of everyday gadgets (doorbells, sensors, remotes) talk in simple on/off pulses on the sub-GHz bands. ProtoView listens and tries to recognise which protocol each one uses, showing you the decoded data — like a translator for the sub-GHz zoo.

How it works

Simple

It measures the exact lengths of the on/off pulses and compares them to a big list of known 'languages' to figure out which gadget is talking.

How to use it, step by step

Simple
  1. Open 'ProtoView'.
  2. Set the sub-GHz band (e.g. 433 MHz).
  3. Trigger a nearby remote/sensor.
  4. See which protocol it decodes.

Examples

Identify a sensor

Trigger a 433 MHz sensor and let ProtoView name its protocol.

Bridge to decode

Use it to recognise a device before diving into the raw pulses in the IQ viewer.

Tips & things to try

  • If a device isn't recognised, capture it and inspect the raw timing in the WAV/IQ viewer.
  • 433.92 MHz is the richest hunting ground in most regions.
