Summary

  • README's "Hypothesis" bullets read as two competing approaches (serial vs. radio). Replaced with a comparison table making explicit they're complementary: serial is the only route with CYCLE COUNTER/PLANT STATUS, radio is the zero-wiring alarm-only complement.
  • Added a concrete recipe to rtl433-decoder.md for forcing 0x26 device_fault on air (the one alarm type never captured): the actuator self-test (FUN_a138/FUN_c9e1) flags any output channel whose readback doesn't clear, so a controlled open-circuit + power-cycle induces it deliberately instead of waiting for a real failure. Same recipe also nets the first-ever state=1 frame and the state=0 clear transition on reconnect.

Test plan

  • Docs-only change, no build
  • Recipe cross-checked against the existing FUN_a138/FUN_c9e1 trace in eeprom-map.md

… recipe

The README's "Hypothesis" bullets read as two competing options. They
aren't: the serial port is the only route carrying CYCLE COUNTER and
PLANT STATUS, while the radio carries only the 5 panel alarm symbols
but needs no wiring. Replace with a comparison table saying which
carries what.

Also add a concrete recipe for forcing the one alarm type never seen
on air (0x26 device_fault): the actuator self-test (FUN_a138/FUN_c9e1)
flags any output channel whose readback doesn't clear, so
disconnecting one actuator and power-cycling induces it deliberately.
Same recipe also captures the first-ever state=1 frame, and the
state=0 clear transition on reconnect.
