I can't thank you enough Dave - this information has been VERY informative.

Thanks for the info Dave! I search for the FCC ID on fcc.org and found a lot of information about the module and its communication methods. The handheld remote unit contains a 433 Mhz transceiver - is there something more specific than that I should try and find out related to the frequency, or should any 433 Mhz transceiver be able to communicate with it (depending on the protocol as you mentioned)? As you said, I'm sure it will be extremely difficult to figure this out without any documentation - but I think if I can get a transceiver and get the communication going between the two then I can figure out the functions (again, there is a lot of info on the FCC site). Do you know sort of what the process would be for communicating with the transmitter on the smoker would be? I guess I would ideally have a USB transceiver so once it was installed I guess you would just use the USB API to communicate with it as a HID, right? (I know that is oversimplifying what could be a painful process) Is there a process of "pairing" devices a la bluetooth or do these types of things work more off of just responding to any frequency that matches what it's looking for?

Hi Folks, Does anyone have a good starting point for information on reading RF signals using C#? I have an electric smoker (ie. BBQ Pit) that has an RF remote that displays different temperatures and I would like to write an application that would allow me to control the remote functions from my PC instead of from the remote. I'm sure I would need to purchase an RF Receiver such as this one[^] which I will if I can figure out that this is possible!
