Ultimately I am trying to get it to learn / command 1. the garage door, and 2. the escea fire. (1) is presumably going to be easier because presumably it's going to entail just a single code, (2) though is going to be harder I think, because the information flow is going to be bi-directional. I.e. commands going to the fire, and information coming back.
Key consideration:
Do I have to flash the device with Tasmota;
Do I integrate it to MQTT (makes for easy programming, other considerations?)
Do I need two devices?
How exactly am I going to sniff the 433? More of a factor for the fire than for the garage door.
Seems as though I do need to flash to Tasmota, because I do want to drive the thing with MQTT. That would seem to settle it. So then, seems I need a FTDI (RX, TX, GPIO, V+ and GND) to USB.
Apparently the challenge I am going to have is - I need to flash the RF chip, or else I am going to have challenges with the sniffing. Either way, I definitely need to flash the Wifi chip (seems pretty clear).
