Can someone help me understand what I have - 433mhz

Thanks in advance for reading and commenting.

I've been tinkering with some 433mhz devices and when I use my rtl_433 with a software defined radio to grab the signals, my remote is putting out, I get

2018-08-30 11:56:41 : Smoke detector GS 558 : 30208 : 6 : 0
Raw Code: 6ec006

Note:It's a light, not a smoke detector.

However, I don't know what "format" that raw code is in. When I look at the 433mhz sending examples, they all show things like...
decimal - mySwitch.send(5393, 24);

binary - mySwitch.send("000000000001010100010001");

tristate - mySwitch.sendTriState("00000FFF0F0F");
​

Can someone tell me what I'm looking at?

There are countless possibilities for signals, and each manufacturer defines a proprietary protocol.

Unless someone has already reverse engineered your gizmo and published the results, your only option is to study the signal in a more general way and deduce the data encoding method.

Here is an approach I've successfully used with several 433 MHz sensors: Reverse Engineer Wireless Temperature / Humidity / Rain Sensors — Part 1 « RAYSHOBBY.NET

I think I have it sorted. It was just that arduino was giving me hex and I needed to convert it to decimal or binary. Thanks!
