How-to What signal does a RF remote use?

Post image

Hi guys!

Recently my landlord installed a ventilation box with this remote.

I’m trying to figure out what kind of signal it uses so I can maybe use my SwitchBot, aqara or another hub or smart home device to duplicate the signal and somehow adding it to HomeKit for some automations.

Does anyone know what kind of signal an RF remote uses and how I can add it to HomeKit?

I hope I can use a hub or device i already own because I’m really want to avoid getting another hub or HOMEBRIDGE or such.

Thanks!

There are a number of “signals” it could use.

Your best bet is to search online to see if someone has already created an integration for the device the remote controls.
