In this video, we take a look at how I was able to build a custom receiver to bridge my Quinetic wireless kinetic switches to MQTT to control my smart lighting system instead of using proprietary relay and dimmer modules. We will also take a look at the process I went through using an SDR (Software Defined Radio) to capture and reverse engineer the completely undocumented radio protocol!
