For my first RF project, I’m attempting to capture and decode 433 MHz RF signals received from a remote Thermo-Hygrometer sensor in order to perform some home automation at various temperature and humidity levels. This is the Thermo-Hygrometer that I am using:

I’m able to capture the RF signals in Audacity using a setup similar to this one:

I have attempted to decode the signals with NRZ and Manchester coding then searching the results for the BCD and binary representation of the decimal temperature/humidity, in various bit and byte endianness, but have not been successful.
I would like to know:
Is there anything I am missing?
Am I using the correct decoding?
Any suggestions or next steps?

I used this to determine what should be considered a long pulse and a short pulse
