Scanning the RF signal of a Somfy RTS remote

Hi!

I´m working on a school project in which I first need to scan my Somfy RTS remote code in order to control my curtains with the Arduino Mega board and RF-link. A kit bought from NODO-shop.

I have only studied the basics of C and C++ and done one easy project with arduino.

I have the hardware in order now, but can't get the code for the RF scanning to work. Can someone walk me through the first steps in this project?

Looks like they use either WIFI, Bluetooth or IR connections. Which did you purchase and why do you think you need to "scan" something?

is what I bought.

And I want to use it instead of this:

I am a beginner as I said, but I guess will have to somehow figure out the commands the remote send to the curtains and thought that the easiest way would be to "sniff" out the transmission from the remote.

Ok, but I don't see any mention of "scanning" capability. The sample code likely has all the documentation.

The component should be a transceiver, so it should be able to receive as well. I thought it could decode the signal if it can receive it?

Only the software can decode what is received. You will have to wait and see what you purchased.
