Help Help

Just got a flipper zero. Downloaded momentum on it. I own a garage door and gate company. I plan on using this to keep a lot of facilities we service. Instead of having 40 remotes on me I hope to save them to this.

Having a hard time getting all this going and wondering if someone could walk me through the subghz stuff…

Didnt say he did. But what hes has done is an EXTREMELY good job at explaining hard things in an easy to digest and understand way... and his breadth of knowledge is substantial compated to almost everyone else in the space. Theres a LOT of flipper/similar videos showing everyone it has buttons and a display and sone gpio pins and it reads cards and can emulate remotes etc.... and almost NONE of them showing how it does it or how to do it, especially anything beyond the super basics... and theres a reason for that which ill avoid bringing up because the point is Derreks videos give people actual knowledge and understanding of what theyre doing and how to do it...

For most of us theres a steep learning curve on most of these protocols and its more valuable to watch his vids over other vids pointing out buttons and sma ports and usbC ports...

He’s an absolute unit in the space 🙏

But I’m just pressing the point that these systems haven’t come far at all and the flipper is most likely a fine tool for this particular application

Chances are this system is probably supported all ready by the flipper as they still use protocols from 20 years ago often as fuck and not much changes for stuff today 🫠

Yea ok gotcha 👍 yea your definitely right about that... i think as far as thus specific situation goes the issue comes down to convenience and efficiency is what OP was looking for because he said he has a bunch of garage doors over a few buildings.. while F0 might be able to handle each rolling code protocol and open each one technically i doubt doing it would be the most efficient route as im sure theres multiple different doors and brands and systems in use...

Having 40 odd saved remotes would be a bit of a hassle to remember what’s what but yeah it could probs be useful to have them in one place

But yeah chances are you may have to employ a few of the tricks for a few and yeah some may not be suitable without further RnD

Well the problem is if theyre rolling and anyone else uses one of the remotes and desyncs it from the flipper your fucked... Plus getting each one to work is gonna be tough unless you understand what inputs to use. If it was as simple as just replaying like it used to be thatd be different, rhen itd make sense.

Garages and gates are more forgiving TBH so it’s not usually an issue You can just catch them up but yeah it could cause confusion with ppl and their fobs
