# Markisol: reconstructing 433.92 MHz shade commands

> The Markisol investigation captures 433.92 MHz commands from motorized-shade remotes and reuses their 41-bit messages from Arduino or Raspberry Pi control code. It documents remote IDs, capture steps and example pairing, up, down and stop commands for compatible shades.
