# Robust Error Logging System for Beta Testing
## Overview
Comprehensive error tracking and monitoring system for GigLez file uploads during beta testing. Captures detailed context at every stage of the upload process to help diagnose and fix issues quickly.
---
## Components
### 1. **Server-Side Logging** (`src/logging/upload_logger.py`)
Centralized logging system that tracks:
- Upload attempts with client info
- Individual file processing stages
- Parse errors with file samples
- GPS validation failures
- Device matching results
- Manual labels
- Performance metrics
- Exceptions with full context
**Log Files Created:**
```
logs/uploads/
├── uploads_2026-01-15.log # All events (DEBUG level)
├── upload_errors_2026-01-15.log # Errors only
├── uploads_structured_2026-01-15.jsonl # JSON for analysis
├── upload_performance_2026-01-15.log # Performance metrics
└── problem_files/ # Failed file samples
└── upload_20260115_123456/
└── problematic_file.sub.txt
```
### 2. **Enhanced Upload Endpoint** (`src/api/routes/captures_with_logging.py`)
New beta endpoint: `POST /api/v1/captures/upload/beta`
Logs every step of the upload process:
1. **Validation** - Manifest parsing, file count, total size
2. **Parsing** - .sub file parsing with detailed error context
3. **GPS Validation** - Coordinate validation
4. **Storage** - File storage timing
5. **Matching** - Device identification results
6. **Database** - Record creation
7. **Complete** - Final summary with performance metrics
### 3. **Client-Side Error Reporter** (`static/js/error_reporter.js`)
JavaScript error tracking that:
- Captures uncaught exceptions
- Reports parse errors with file samples
- Sends network errors
- Tracks browser/device info
- Queues errors if offline
**Usage:**
```javascript
// Initialize (happens automatically)
window.errorReporter = new ErrorReporter();
// Set upload ID for tracking
errorReporter.setUploadId('upload_20260115_123456');
// Manually report errors
try {
parseSubFile(content);
} catch (error) {
errorReporter.reportParseError(filename, error, content);
}
```
### 4. **Log Analysis Tool** (`scripts/analyze_upload_logs.py`)
Command-line tool to analyze logs and generate reports.
---
## Usage
### During Beta Testing
#### 1. **Enable Beta Endpoint**
Update upload form to use beta endpoint:
```javascript
// In upload_enhanced.js
const response = await fetch('/api/v1/captures/upload/beta', {
method: 'POST',
body: formData
});
```
#### 2. **Include Error Reporter**
Add to upload page HTML:
```html
<!-- Error reporting -->
<script src="/static/js/error_reporter.js"></script>
<!-- Before upload -->
<script>
// Generate upload ID
const uploadId = errorReporter.generateUploadId();
errorReporter.setUploadId(uploadId);
// Include in manifest
manifest.upload_id = uploadId;
</script>
```
#### 3. **Monitor Logs in Real-Time**
```bash
# Watch all uploads
tail -f logs/uploads/uploads_$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log
# Watch errors only
tail -f logs/uploads/upload_errors_$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log
# Watch structured JSON
tail -f logs/uploads/uploads_structured_$(date +%Y-%m-%d).jsonl | jq
```

## Common Issues & Solutions
### Issue: High Parse Error Rate
**Symptoms:** 20%+ of files failing to parse
**Diagnosis:**
```bash
python3 scripts/analyze_upload_logs.py --date 2026-01-15 | grep "PARSE ERRORS" -A 10
```
**Solutions:**
1. Check `logs/uploads/problem_files/` for actual file samples
2. Identify common error patterns
3. Update parser to handle edge cases
4. Add validation warnings in upload UI
### Issue: Slow Matching Performance
**Symptoms:** Matching taking >500ms average
**Diagnosis:**
```bash
python3 scripts/analyze_upload_logs.py --date 2026-01-15 | grep "Matching Time"
```
**Solutions:**
1. Check database indexes on `signatures` table
2. Review matcher strategy order (put fast strategies first)
3. Consider caching frequent patterns
4. Profile matching code with `cProfile`
### Issue: GPS Validation Failures
**Symptoms:** Users reporting valid coordinates being rejected
**Diagnosis:**
```bash
grep "gps_validation_error" logs/uploads/uploads_structured_2026-01-15.jsonl | jq
```
**Solutions:**
1. Review coordinate ranges in validator
2. Check for precision issues (too many decimal places)
3. Add client-side validation to catch before upload
4. Provide clear error messages
---
## Monitoring Dashboard (Future)
Recommended metrics to track:
1. **Upload Success Rate** (daily)
- Target: >95%
- Alert if <90%
2. **Average Processing Time** (hourly)
- Target: <500ms
- Alert if >1000ms
3. **Error Rate by Type** (hourly)
- Track top 5 error types
- Alert on new error types
4. **User Impact** (daily)
- % of users experiencing errors
- % of files failing per user
5. **Geographic Distribution** (weekly)
- Upload sources by country
- Network quality by region
---
## Retention Policy
| Log Type | Retention | Reason |
|----------|-----------|--------|
| Main uploads log | 90 days | Debugging window |
| Error log | 180 days | Long-term analysis |
| Structured JSON | 90 days | Analysis queries |
| Performance log | 30 days | Recent trends only |
| Problem file samples | 30 days | Storage constraints |
**Cleanup:**
```bash
# Remove logs older than 90 days
find logs/uploads -name "uploads_*.log" -mtime +90 -delete
# Archive before deletion
tar -czf logs/archive/uploads_2026-01.tar.gz logs/uploads/uploads_2026-01-*.log
```
---
## Privacy Considerations
### What We Log:
- File metadata (frequency, protocol, size)
- GPS coordinates (as submitted)
- User ID (if authenticated)
- IP address
- Browser/device info
### What We Don't Log:
- Full file contents (only first 500 chars on error)
- Passwords or tokens
- Personal identifying information beyond user ID
### GDPR Compliance:
- Users can request deletion of their upload logs
- IP addresses can be anonymized (last octet masked)
- Option to disable client-side error reporting
---
## Best Practices
### For Developers:
1. **Always use `upload_id`** to correlate logs
2. **Log before and after** critical operations
3. **Include context** in exception logs (filename, user_id, etc.)
4. **Use appropriate log levels**:
- DEBUG: Detailed diagnostic info
- INFO: General events
- WARNING: Potential issues
- ERROR: Failures requiring attention
- CRITICAL: System-wide failures
### For Beta Testers:
1. **Report upload IDs** when filing bug reports
2. **Include browser/device info** (captured automatically)
3. **Save screenshots** of error messages
4. **Note reproduction steps**
### For Operations:
1. **Monitor error logs daily** during beta
2. **Set up alerts** for error rate spikes
3. **Review problem file samples** weekly
4. **Archive old logs** monthly

// Flush error queue
await errorReporter.flushErrorQueue();
```
---
## Troubleshooting
### Logs not appearing?
**Check:**
1. Log directory exists: `mkdir -p logs/uploads`
2. Write permissions: `chmod 755 logs/uploads`
3. Loguru installed: `pip install loguru`
4. Logger initialized: Check `src/logging/upload_logger.py` import
### Analysis script failing?
**Common issues:**
- Missing log files for date
- JSON parse errors in structured log
- Python version <3.7 (need 3.7+ for dataclasses)
**Fix:**
```bash
# Check log files exist
ls -la logs/uploads/
# Validate JSON
cat logs/uploads/uploads_structured_2026-01-15.jsonl | jq . > /dev/null
# Install dependencies
pip install loguru
```

## 🔍 Automatic Device Matching
### Enhanced Upload Endpoint
**Location:** `/home/dell/coding/giglez/src/api/routes/captures_enhanced.py`
**Endpoint:** `POST /api/v1/captures/upload/enhanced`
### Workflow
```
User uploads .sub file
Parse .sub → SignalMetadata
Store in database (Capture record)
Run SignatureMatcher.match()
├─ ExactMatcher (protocol + freq + bit_length)
├─ PartialMatcher (protocol + freq)
├─ PatternMatcher (bit pattern similarity)
├─ TimingMatcher (pulse width ranges)
├─ FrequencyMatcher (freq proximity)
├─ RTL433Decoder (if RAW data)
└─ PatternBasedStrategy (timing analysis)
Store top 10 matches in CaptureMatch table
Set capture.device_id to best match
Return results to user with confidence scores
```
### Key Features
1. **Runs on Every Upload**
- Automatic matching triggered for each file
- No background job needed (fast enough)
2. **Stores All Matches**
- Top 10 candidates saved in `capture_matches` table
- Allows review of alternative identifications
3. **Confidence Scoring**
- 1.0: Exact protocol match
- 0.95: RTL_433 successful decode
- 0.7-0.9: Pattern matching
- 0.5-0.7: Frequency proximity
4. **Batch Matching Endpoint**
- `POST /captures/match_batch`
- Backfill matches for existing captures
- Useful for re-running after database updates
### Response Format
```json
{
"successful": [
{
"filename": "capture_001.sub",

## 📝 Manual Device Labeling System
### Frontend Components
#### 1. **JavaScript .sub Parser**
**Location:** `/home/dell/coding/giglez/static/js/sub_parser.js`
**Features:**
- Browser-based .sub file parsing (no server round-trip)
- Supports KEY, RAW, and BinRAW formats
- Extracts all metadata fields
- Computes pulse statistics for RAW files
- Provides feature extraction for ML classifiers
- Validates frequency ranges and required fields
**API:**
```javascript
// Parse .sub file
const metadata = SubParser.parseSubFile(fileContent);
// Extract statistical features (47-dimensional vector)
const features = SubParser.extractStatisticalFeatures(metadata);
// Normalize for CNN input (512 samples, [-1, 1])
const cnnInput = SubParser.normalizeForCNN(metadata.raw_data);
// Validate
const validation = SubParser.validateSubFile(metadata);
```
#### 2. **Enhanced Upload UI**
**Location:** `/home/dell/coding/giglez/static/js/upload_enhanced.js`
**Features:**
**A. Real-Time File Parsing**
- Parse .sub files immediately on selection
- Display signal details (frequency, protocol, modulation)
- Compute and show pulse statistics
**B. Device Labeling Options**
Three modes:
1. **Select from Known Devices**
- Autocomplete search box
- Fetches device database from API
- Filters by manufacturer, model, device type
- Shows top 10 matches
2. **Add New Device**
- Form with device type dropdown
- Manufacturer and model text inputs
- Notes textarea
- Photo upload (optional)
- Creates new device in database
3. **Skip Labeling**
- Let AI identify automatically
- No manual input required
**C. Batch Labeling**
- Apply label to multiple files
- Track labeling state per file
### Backend Handling
**Manual Label Types:**
#### 1. `manual_existing` (User Selected from Database)
```json
{
"filename": "capture_001.sub",
"device_id": 123,
"source": "manual_existing"
}
```
**Processing:**
- Override automatic match with user selection
- Set `capture.device_id` = selected device
- Set `match_confidence` = 1.0 (user-confirmed)
- Create `ManualIdentification` record
- Mark for community verification
#### 2. `manual_new` (User Created New Device)
```json
{
"filename": "capture_002.sub",
"device_type": "Weather Sensor",
"manufacturer": "Oregon Scientific",
"model": "THGN123N",
"notes": "Temperature sensor from my backyard",
"source": "manual_new"
}
```
**Processing:**
- Check if device already exists (by manufacturer + model)
- Create new `Device` if needed
- Link capture to device
- Create `ManualIdentification` record
- Flag device as unverified (needs community review)
### Training Data Collection
**Benefits:**
1. **High-Quality Labels:** User-provided ground truth
2. **Unknown Device Coverage:** Expands dataset beyond existing signatures
3. **Community Verification:** Multiple users can confirm identifications
4. **Photo Evidence:** Visual confirmation of physical devices
**Storage:**
- `manual_identifications` table tracks all user submissions
- `verification_count` field enables voting system
- `verified=True` after 3+ confirmations
- Photos stored in blob storage with metadata links

### Model 1: 1D CNN for Pulse Timing Classification
**Architecture:**
```python
Input: (batch_size, 512, 1) # Fixed-length pulse array, normalized to [-1, 1]
Conv1D(64, kernel=16, stride=2) + BatchNorm + MaxPool(4) + Dropout(0.2)
Conv1D(128, kernel=8, stride=2) + BatchNorm + MaxPool(4) + Dropout(0.3)
Conv1D(256, kernel=4, stride=2) + BatchNorm + GlobalAvgPool
Dense(512, relu) + Dropout(0.4)
Dense(num_classes, softmax)
```
**Training:**
- Optimizer: Adam (lr=0.001, decay=1e-6)
- Loss: Categorical cross-entropy with label smoothing
- Data augmentation: Time stretching, noise injection, clipping
- Batch size: 32, Epochs: 50 with early stopping
**Deployment:**

- Web Workers for async processing
- <200ms inference on desktop, <500ms mobile
### Model 2: Statistical Feature Classifier
**Algorithm:** LightGBM (Gradient Boosted Trees)
**Features:** 47-dimensional vector
- **Timing (16):** Mean/median/std/min/max of pulses and gaps, duty cycle, pulse/gap ratio
- **Frequency Domain (12):** FFT peaks, dominant frequency, spectral centroid, bandwidth
- **Pattern (10):** Autocorrelation peaks, zero-crossing rate, entropy of pulse distribution
- **Metadata (9):** Frequency, modulation (one-hot), pulse count, duration, bit rate
**Deployment:**
- ONNX Runtime Web (browser inference)
- Fast inference (<50ms)
- Interpretable feature importance
### Model 3: Heuristic Matcher
**Keep Existing System:**
- Already implemented and working
- ExactMatcher, PartialMatcher, PatternMatcher, etc.
- Handles decoded signals perfectly (1.0 confidence)
### Ensemble Strategy
**Dynamic Weighting** based on signal type:
| Signal Type | CNN | Statistical | Heuristic |
|-------------|-----|-------------|-----------|
| Decoded (KEY format) | 0.10 | 0.10 | 0.80 |
| RAW with >500 samples | 0.45 | 0.25 | 0.30 |
| RAW with <100 samples | 0.20 | 0.40 | 0.40 |
| Known protocol detected | 0.05 | 0.05 | 0.90 |
### Training Data Strategy
**Labeling Methods:**
1. **Automatic Labels** (15,000 samples)
- File path structure extraction
- Decoded protocol name match
- RTL_433 successful decode
2. **Manual Labels** (1,000+ expected over 6 months)
- User-submitted via upload form
- Community verification voting
3. **Semi-Supervised Learning** (25,000+ potential)
- Use high-confidence heuristic matches as pseudo-labels
- Iterative refinement loop
**Class Imbalance Handling:**
- Class weighting (scikit-learn)
- Focal loss (penalize easy examples)
- Stratified sampling (ensure rare classes in each batch)
**Train/Val/Test Split:**
- Training: 68% (~28,000 samples)

model.save('models/cnn_classifier_v1.h5')
# 2. Convert to TensorFlow.js
tensorflowjs_converter \
--input_format=keras \
--output_format=tfjs_graph_model \
--quantization_bytes=2 \
models/cnn_classifier_v1.h5 \
static/models/cnn_v1/
# 3. Convert LightGBM to ONNX
onnxmltools.utils.save_model(onnx_model, 'models/stat_v1.onnx')
```
### Browser Inference API
**Load Models:**
```javascript
import * as tf from '@tensorflow/tfjs';
import * as ort from 'onnxruntime-web';
const cnnModel = await tf.loadGraphModel('/static/models/cnn_v1/model.json');
const statSession = await ort.InferenceSession.create('/static/models/stat_v1.onnx');
```
**Predict:**
```javascript
async function predictDevice(subFileContent) {
// Parse .sub file
const metadata = SubParser.parseSubFile(subFileContent);
// CNN prediction
const cnnInput = SubParser.normalizeForCNN(metadata.raw_data);
const cnnTensor = tf.tensor3d([cnnInput.map(x => [x])], [1, 512, 1]);
const cnnProbs = await cnnModel.predict(cnnTensor).data();
// Statistical classifier prediction
const features = SubParser.extractStatisticalFeatures(metadata);
const statResults = await statSession.run({input: new ort.Tensor('float32', features, [1, 47])});
const statProbs = statResults.probabilities.data;
// Heuristic matcher (API call)
const heuristicMatches = await fetch('/api/v1/match_heuristic', {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify(metadata)
}).then(r => r.json());
// Ensemble
const ensemblePredictions = ensemblePredict(cnnProbs, statProbs, heuristicMatches);
return ensemblePredictions;
}
```
### Performance Optimization

# ML/Neural Network Design for RF Signal Classification
## Executive Summary
This document outlines the machine learning approach for automatic RF device identification in GigLez, focusing on Sub-GHz IoT signals (300-928 MHz). The design prioritizes practical deployment using JavaScript/TensorFlow.js for browser-based inference, with Python training pipeline.
---
## Research Foundation
### Key Papers & Approaches
1. **Deep Learning for RF Signal Classification** (Shi & Davaslioglu, 2019)
- CNN architectures for modulation recognition
- Achieves >95% accuracy above 2dB SNR
- Uses IQ sample input (128-256 samples)
2. **RF Fingerprinting for IoT** (Jian et al., 2020)
- Device-specific transmitter signatures
- Massive experimental study on real IoT devices
- Addresses resource-constrained edge deployment
3. **Practical RF Machine Learning** (Panoradio SDR)
- CNN + RNN hybrid architectures
- Categorical cross-entropy optimization
- Real-world performance validation
### State-of-the-Art Insights
**What Works:**
- CNNs excel at extracting spatial features from signal representations
- 1D CNNs on raw pulse data perform well for timing-based protocols
- 2D CNNs on spectrograms capture frequency-domain patterns
- Ensemble methods (CNN + heuristics) outperform pure ML
**Challenges:**
- Single-transmission captures (Flipper Zero) vs. continuous streams (RTL-SDR)
- Variable signal lengths require padding or dynamic architectures
- Class imbalance (1000+ garage openers, <10 weather sensors)
- Synthetic vs. real-world signal distribution shift
---
## GigLez-Specific Requirements
### Input Characteristics
**Signal Types:**
1. **Decoded (.sub KEY format)**
- Protocol, frequency, bit length, key data, timing element
- Structured metadata, high information density
- Best for heuristic matching (current system)
2. **RAW (.sub RAW format)**
- Pulse/gap timing arrays (e.g., `2980 -240 520 -980 ...`)
- Variable length (10-10,000+ samples)
- Target for ML approach
3. **BinRAW (.sub BinRAW format)**
- Binary pulse data
- Less common, lower priority
**Challenge:** 97% of Flipper Zero captures are single-transmission (1-3 repeats), not continuous streams.
### Output Requirements
**Device Classification:**
- Primary: Device type (e.g., "Garage Door Opener", "Weather Sensor - Temperature")
- Secondary: Manufacturer (e.g., "Chamberlain", "Oregon Scientific")
- Tertiary: Model (e.g., "LiftMaster 891LM", "THGN123N")
**Confidence Scoring:**
- Probabilistic output (softmax)
- Combine with heuristic matcher scores
- Threshold: >0.7 for auto-ID, 0.5-0.7 for suggestions, <0.5 unknown
---
## Proposed Architecture: Hybrid Ensemble System
### Overview
Combine **three parallel classifiers** with weighted ensemble:
```
RAW .sub file
[Feature Extraction]
├─→ 1D CNN (Temporal Features) [35% weight]
├─→ Statistical Feature Classifier [25% weight]
└─→ Heuristic Matcher (existing) [40% weight]
[Weighted Ensemble]
Device ID + Confidence
```
**Rationale:**
- Heuristic matcher handles decoded signals perfectly (1.0 confidence)
- CNN learns patterns in RAW signals the heuristics miss
- Statistical features provide interpretable fallback
- Weighted ensemble prevents over-reliance on any single method
---
## Model 1: 1D CNN for Pulse Timing Classification
### Architecture
**Input:**
- RAW pulse data, fixed length 512 samples (padded/truncated)
- Normalization: Divide by max(abs(value)) to range [-1, 1]
- Shape: `(batch_size, 512, 1)`
**Network Structure:**
```python
# TensorFlow.js equivalent structure
model = Sequential([
# Block 1: Initial feature extraction
Conv1D(64, kernel_size=16, strides=2, activation='relu', padding='same'),
BatchNormalization(),
MaxPooling1D(pool_size=4),
Dropout(0.2),
# Block 2: Mid-level features
Conv1D(128, kernel_size=8, strides=2, activation='relu', padding='same'),
BatchNormalization(),
MaxPooling1D(pool_size=4),
Dropout(0.3),
# Block 3: High-level features
Conv1D(256, kernel_size=4, strides=2, activation='relu', padding='same'),
BatchNormalization(),
GlobalAveragePooling1D(),
# Classification head
Dense(512, activation='relu'),
Dropout(0.4),
Dense(num_classes, activation='softmax')
])
```
**Hyperparameters:**
- Optimizer: Adam (lr=0.001, decay=1e-6)
- Loss: Categorical cross-entropy with label smoothing (0.1)
- Batch size: 32
- Epochs: 50 with early stopping (patience=5)
**Data Augmentation:**
- Random time stretching (0.9x - 1.1x)
- Gaussian noise injection (SNR 20-40 dB)
- Random clipping (simulate distance variations)
**Output:**
- Softmax probabilities for top 100 device classes
- Classes determined by dataset frequency (>50 examples)
---
## Model 2: Statistical Feature Classifier
### Feature Extraction (Handcrafted)
From RAW pulse data, extract 47 features:
**Timing Features (16):**
- Mean, median, std, min, max of positive pulses
- Mean, median, std, min, max of negative gaps
- Pulse/gap ratio, duty cycle
- Short pulse width, long pulse width (K-means clusters)
- Coefficient of variation for pulses and gaps
**Frequency Domain (12):**
- FFT magnitude peaks (top 5 frequencies)
- Dominant frequency, total energy, spectral centroid
- Bandwidth (95% energy containment)
**Pattern Features (10):**
- Autocorrelation peaks (indicates repeating patterns)
- Zero-crossing rate
- Peak count, valley count
- Longest run of similar-width pulses
- Entropy of pulse width distribution
**Metadata Features (9):**
- Frequency (normalized to 433/868/315/915 bands)
- Modulation type (one-hot: OOK, FSK, ASK)
- Total pulse count
- Total duration (ms)
- Average bit rate (estimated)
### Classifier
**Algorithm:** Gradient Boosted Trees (LightGBM or XGBoost)
**Rationale:**
- Handles tabular features excellently
- Fast inference (critical for browser deployment)
- Interpretable feature importance
- Robust to missing values
**Training:**
```python
import lightgbm as lgb
params = {
'objective': 'multiclass',
'num_class': num_classes,
'metric': 'multi_logloss',
'boosting_type': 'gbdt',
'num_leaves': 63,
'learning_rate': 0.05,
'feature_fraction': 0.8,
'bagging_fraction': 0.8,
'bagging_freq': 5,
'max_depth': 8
}
model = lgb.train(params, train_data, num_boost_round=500)
```
**Export:** Convert to ONNX for browser inference via onnxruntime-web
---
## Model 3: Heuristic Matcher (Existing System)
**Keep current implementation** from `src/matcher/`:
- ExactMatcher, PartialMatcher, PatternMatcher, etc.
- Confidence scores: 0.5-1.0
- Fast, deterministic, handles decoded signals
**Integration:** Run in parallel with ML models, ensemble at end
---
## Ensemble Strategy
### Weighted Voting
```javascript
function ensemblePredict(cnn_probs, stat_probs, heuristic_results) {
const weights = {
cnn: 0.35,
statistical: 0.25,
heuristic: 0.40
};
// Combine probabilities
let combined = {};
// CNN contribution
for (let [device_id, prob] of Object.entries(cnn_probs)) {
combined[device_id] = (combined[device_id] || 0) + prob * weights.cnn;
}
// Statistical contribution
for (let [device_id, prob] of Object.entries(stat_probs)) {
combined[device_id] = (combined[device_id] || 0) + prob * weights.statistical;
}
// Heuristic contribution (convert confidence to probability)
for (let match of heuristic_results) {
let device_id = match.device_id;
let prob = match.confidence; // Already 0-1 range
combined[device_id] = (combined[device_id] || 0) + prob * weights.heuristic;
}
// Sort by combined score
let sorted = Object.entries(combined)
.sort((a, b) => b[1] - a[1])
.slice(0, 10); // Top 10
return sorted.map(([device_id, score]) => ({
device_id: device_id,
confidence: score,
method: 'ensemble'
}));
}
```
### Dynamic Weighting
Adjust weights based on input signal type:
| Signal Type | CNN Weight | Statistical Weight | Heuristic Weight |
|-------------|------------|--------------------| -----------------|
| Decoded (KEY format) | 0.10 | 0.10 | 0.80 |
| RAW with >500 samples | 0.45 | 0.25 | 0.30 |
| RAW with <100 samples | 0.20 | 0.40 | 0.40 |
| Known protocol detected | 0.05 | 0.05 | 0.90 |

3. **Semi-Supervised Learning**
- Use high-confidence heuristic matches (1.0 confidence) as pseudo-labels
- Iterative refinement: Train model → Generate predictions → Review low-confidence → Retrain
- **Potential:** 25,000+ samples
### Class Distribution Handling
**Problem:** Long-tail distribution
- Top 10 classes: 60% of data (garage door openers)
- Bottom 50 classes: 5% of data (weather sensors, TPMS)
**Solutions:**
1. **Class Weighting:**
```python
from sklearn.utils.class_weight import compute_class_weight
class_weights = compute_class_weight(
'balanced',
classes=np.unique(y_train),
y=y_train
)
```
2. **Focal Loss:** Penalize easy examples (common classes)
```python
def focal_loss(y_true, y_pred, alpha=0.25, gamma=2.0):
ce = -y_true * np.log(y_pred + 1e-7)
weight = alpha * y_true * np.power(1 - y_pred, gamma)
return np.sum(weight * ce)
```
3. **Stratified Sampling:** Ensure rare classes in each batch
### Train/Val/Test Split
```python
from sklearn.model_selection import StratifiedShuffleSplit
splitter = StratifiedShuffleSplit(n_splits=1, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)
train_idx, test_idx = next(splitter.split(X, y))
# Further split training into train/val
splitter = StratifiedShuffleSplit(n_splits=1, test_size=0.15, random_state=42)
train_idx, val_idx = next(splitter.split(X[train_idx], y[train_idx]))
```
**Split:**
- Training: 68% (~28,000 samples)
- Validation: 12% (~5,000 samples)
- Test: 20% (~8,000 samples)

## JavaScript Deployment (TensorFlow.js)
### Browser-Based Inference
**Why Browser:**
- Instant feedback during upload
- No server cost for inference
- Privacy: .sub files never leave device for pre-screening
- Offline capability (PWA)
### Model Conversion
**1. Train in Python (TensorFlow/Keras)**
```python
model.save('models/cnn_classifier_v1.h5')
```
**2. Convert to TensorFlow.js**
```bash
tensorflowjs_converter \
--input_format=keras \
--output_format=tfjs_graph_model \
models/cnn_classifier_v1.h5 \
static/models/cnn_v1/
```
**3. Load in Browser**
```javascript
import * as tf from '@tensorflow/tfjs';
const model = await tf.loadGraphModel('/static/models/cnn_v1/model.json');
// Inference
function predict(rawPulseArray) {
// Preprocess
let normalized = rawPulseArray.map(x => x / Math.max(...rawPulseArray.map(Math.abs)));
let padded = padOrTruncate(normalized, 512);
// Convert to tensor
let tensor = tf.tensor3d([padded.map(x => [x])], [1, 512, 1]);
// Predict
let probs = model.predict(tensor);
let probsArray = await probs.data();
// Get top 5
let indexed = Array.from(probsArray).map((p, i) => [i, p]);
indexed.sort((a, b) => b[1] - a[1]);
return indexed.slice(0, 5).map(([idx, prob]) => ({
device_id: classMapping[idx],
confidence: prob
}));
}
```
### Performance Optimization
**Model Quantization:**
```bash
tensorflowjs_converter \
--input_format=keras \
--output_format=tfjs_graph_model \
--quantization_bytes=2 \
models/cnn_classifier_v1.h5 \
static/models/cnn_v1_quantized/
```
**Benefits:**
- 4x smaller model (16-bit weights vs 32-bit)
- 2x faster inference on mobile
- Minimal accuracy loss (<1%)
**Web Workers:**
```javascript
// Main thread
const worker = new Worker('/static/js/ml_worker.js');
worker.postMessage({
type: 'predict',
raw_data: pulseArray
});
worker.onmessage = (e) => {
console.log('Predictions:', e.data.predictions);
};
// Worker thread (ml_worker.js)
importScripts('https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tensorflow/tfjs');
let model = null;
self.onmessage = async (e) => {
if (!model) {
model = await tf.loadGraphModel('/static/models/cnn_v1/model.json');
}
const predictions = predict(e.data.raw_data);
self.postMessage({ predictions });
};
```
---
## Statistical Feature Classifier Deployment
### ONNX Runtime Web
**1. Train in Python (LightGBM)**
```python
import lightgbm as lgb
import onnxmltools
from onnxmltools.convert import convert_lightgbm
# Train model
model = lgb.train(params, train_data)
# Convert to ONNX
onnx_model = convert_lightgbm(
model,
initial_types=[('input', FloatTensorType([None, 47]))],
target_opset=12
)
onnxmltools.utils.save_model(onnx_model, 'models/stat_classifier_v1.onnx')
```
**2. Load in Browser**
```javascript
import * as ort from 'onnxruntime-web';
const session = await ort.InferenceSession.create('/static/models/stat_v1.onnx');
async function predictStatistical(features) {
// features: Float32Array of length 47
const tensor = new ort.Tensor('float32', features, [1, 47]);
const feeds = { input: tensor };
const results = await session.run(feeds);
// results.probabilities: [1, num_classes]
const probs = results.probabilities.data;
return Array.from(probs).map((prob, idx) => ({
device_id: classMapping[idx],
confidence: prob
})).sort((a, b) => b.confidence - a.confidence).slice(0, 5);
}
```

---
## Fallback Strategy & Unknown Devices
### Confidence Thresholds
```javascript
function interpretConfidence(max_confidence, predictions) {
if (max_confidence >= 0.85) {
return {
decision: 'auto_identify',
message: 'High confidence match',
show_alternatives: false
};
} else if (max_confidence >= 0.65) {
return {
decision: 'suggest',
message: 'Likely match - please verify',
show_alternatives: true,
top_k: 3
};
} else if (max_confidence >= 0.40) {
return {
decision: 'multiple_options',
message: 'Multiple possibilities detected',
show_alternatives: true,
top_k: 5
};
} else {
return {
decision: 'unknown',
message: 'Unknown device - please help us identify',
show_manual_form: true
};
}
}
```
### Unknown Device Handling
**UI Flow:**
1. Show "Unknown Device" badge
2. Display extracted features (frequency, protocol, etc.)
3. Provide search box to find similar devices in database
4. Allow manual device creation with form:
- Manufacturer (text input with autocomplete)
- Model (text input)
- Device type (dropdown: garage door, weather sensor, etc.)
- Notes (textarea)
- Upload photo (optional)
**Backend:**
- Store in `manual_identifications` table
- Flag for community review
- After 3+ confirmations, add to training set
- Retrain model in next batch
---
## Privacy & Security Considerations
### Browser-Based ML Benefits
1. **Data Privacy:** Raw .sub files processed locally, not sent to server until user confirms
2. **Bandwidth:** Only send metadata + matched device ID, not full signal
3. **Offline Mode:** Model cached, works without internet
### Model Security
**Challenges:**
- Models are public (JavaScript), can be reverse-engineered
- Adversarial attacks possible (craft .sub files to fool classifier)
**Mitigations:**
1. **Ensemble Defense:** Hard to fool all 3 classifiers simultaneously
2. **Server-Side Validation:** Re-run classification on server, flag large discrepancies
3. **Rate Limiting:** Prevent automated adversarial search
4. **Community Verification:** Human oversight on all auto-IDs

# GigLez: Wardriver Onboarding Brief
**TL;DR:** We're building Wigle.net for Sub-GHz IoT devices. Upload RF captures (.sub files) + GPS → auto-identify devices → map IoT infrastructure globally.
---
## What is GigLez?
**Crowdsourced RF IoT Device Mapping Platform**
- **Like Wigle:** Users upload captures → database grows → community maps infrastructure
- **Unlike Wigle:** Instead of WiFi/BT (2.4GHz), we focus on **Sub-GHz IoT** (315/433/868/915 MHz)
- **Devices:** Weather sensors, garage openers, tire pressure monitors, doorbells, security sensors
---
## Why Sub-GHz?
**Massive blind spot in IoT security/research:**
- 433 MHz = most popular IoT frequency (weather, remotes, sensors)
- No centralized database like Wigle (WiFi) or Shodan (internet)
- Devices broadcast constantly, no encryption, easy to capture
- Security implications: replay attacks, device tracking, privacy leaks
**Your wardriving experience transfers perfectly:**
- GPS logging → same workflow
- Signal capture → Flipper Zero instead of WiFi adapter
- Upload interface → familiar Wigle-style submission
- Mapping → identical visualization approach
---
## Current System Architecture
```
User uploads .sub file + GPS
Parse RF Signal
(frequency, pulses, timing)
Multi-Decoder Pipeline:
1. RTL_433 (200+ protocols)
2. Pattern Decoder (timing analysis)
Device Identified
(LaCrosse TX141, Acurite 5n1, etc.)
Store in PostGIS Database
Display on Interactive Map
```
---
## Device Identification Algorithm (Current)
### Decoder 1: RTL_433 Integration
**What:** Subprocess wrapper around RTL_433 binary (FOSS, 15+ years development)
**Protocols:** 286 devices (weather, automotive, security)
**Method:**
- Converts .sub → RTL_433 pulse format
- Runs protocol matchers (one per device type)
- Returns JSON if decoded
**Performance:**
- Speed: <100ms
- Accuracy: 95% for known protocols
- Limitation: Requires multi-transmission captures (RTL_433 expects repetitions)
**Location:** `src/matcher/rtl433_decoder.py`
### Decoder 2: Pattern-Based Heuristics
**What:** Custom timing pattern analyzer for single-transmission captures
**Method:**
1. **Timing Extraction:** K-means cluster pulse widths → SHORT/LONG identification
2. **Binary Decoding:** Convert pulses to bits (SHORT=0, LONG=1 for PWM)
3. **Statistical Fingerprint:** Calculate mean pulse, duty cycle, pulse-gap ratio, pulse count
4. **Database Matching:** Compare against 25+ protocol signatures
5. **Confidence Scoring:** Weighted by timing accuracy (40%), bit count (30%), pattern match (30%)
**Performance:**
- Speed: <50ms
- Accuracy: 65% for protocol DB, 5% for unknowns
- Works on: Flipper Zero short captures (1 button press)
**Location:** `src/matcher/pattern_decoder.py`
---
## Open-Source Resources Available

- **286 device protocols** with timing signatures
- **JSON export:** `data/rtl_433_protocols.json`
- **Fields:** short_width, long_width, gap_limit, reset_limit, modulation
- **Categories:** Weather (majority), automotive TPMS, security, doorbells

**Source:** Zero-Sploit/FlipperZero-Subghz-DB (13,717 files)
- Community-contributed signal captures
- Organized by device type
- RAW pulse data + metadata
- **Limitation:** Most labeled by remote function, not device model
### 3. FCC Equipment Authorization Database
**Source:** https://fccid.io/
- **All RF devices sold in US** must be certified
- Contains: Operating frequency, power, device photos, manuals
- **Use case:** Cross-reference identified devices, validate frequency ranges
- **API:** Available for bulk lookups
### 4. GigLez Protocol Database
**Source:** `src/matcher/protocol_database.py`
- **25 hand-curated protocols** extracted from Flipper firmware + RTL_433
- **Detailed timing:** Short/long pulse widths, preamble patterns, sync words
- **Categories:** Weather (7), garage openers (3), doorbells (1), TPMS (2), security (1), remotes (6)
---
## Proposed Algorithm Improvements
### Problem 1: Low Identification Rate for Unknown Devices
**Current:** 5% accuracy on devices not in protocol database
**Impact:** Most user uploads return "Unknown"
### Problem 2: Single-Transmission Weakness
**Current:** RTL_433 needs repetitions, pattern decoder struggles with noise
**Impact:** Flipper captures (1 button press) often fail
### Problem 3: No Learning from User Feedback
**Current:** System static, doesn't improve over time
**Impact:** Missed opportunity to crowd-source knowledge
---
## Improved Heuristic Algorithm (FOSS-Only)
### Enhancement 1: Multi-Pass Timing Analysis
**Current Approach:**
```python
# Single K-means clustering on all pulses
pulses = [520, 1040, 480, 1020, ...]
short, long = kmeans(pulses, k=2) # Assumes 2 distinct widths
```
**Improved Approach:**
```python
# Hierarchical clustering + outlier removal
def extract_timing_robust(pulses):
# Step 1: Remove outliers (noise, glitches)
pulses_clean = remove_outliers(pulses, method='IQR')
# Step 2: Separate HIGH vs LOW pulses
high_pulses = [p for p in pulses if p > 0]
low_pulses = [abs(p) for p in pulses if p < 0]
# Step 3: Multi-level clustering
# Try k=2,3,4 (some protocols have SHORT/MID/LONG)
for k in [2, 3, 4]:
clusters = kmeans(high_pulses, k=k)
if is_valid_clustering(clusters): # Check separation
return clusters
# Step 4: Frequency histogram method (fallback)
return histogram_peaks(high_pulses)
```
**Benefit:** Handles multi-level modulation (e.g., tri-bit encoding)
### Enhancement 2: Frequency-Based Protocol Filtering
**Current:** Search all 286 RTL_433 protocols
**Improved:** Pre-filter by frequency band
```python
FREQUENCY_PROTOCOL_MAP = {
433920000: { # 433.92 MHz ISM band
'weather': [12, 19, 20, 32, 40, 55, 73, 113], # RTL_433 protocol IDs
'garage': [1, 8, 9],
'security': [25, 26],
},
315000000: { # 315 MHz (North America)
'automotive': [10, 11, 40], # TPMS
'garage': [22, 23],
},
868000000: { # 868 MHz SRD (Europe)
'weather': [78, 88, 113],
'home_automation': [95, 102],
}
}
def filter_protocols_by_frequency(freq, tolerance=100_000):
"""Return likely protocol IDs based on frequency"""
freq_band = round_to_nearest_band(freq)
return FREQUENCY_PROTOCOL_MAP.get(freq_band, [])
```
**Benefit:** 10x speedup (test 20 protocols instead of 200)
### Enhancement 3: Preamble/Sync Pattern Detection
**Current:** Only checks if preamble exists in decoded bits
**Improved:** Dedicated preamble detector before decoding
```python
def detect_preamble(pulses):
"""
Preambles are repeating patterns at start of transmission
Examples:
- Oregon Scientific: 16x "10" = 32 alternating pulses
- Princeton: 4x "1111" = long HIGH burst
"""
# Check first 50 pulses for repetition
first_50 = pulses[:50]
# Method 1: Autocorrelation for periodic patterns
period = find_autocorrelation_peak(first_50)
if period:
pattern = first_50[:period]
repetitions = count_repetitions(first_50, pattern)
if repetitions >= 4:
return {
'type': 'periodic',
'pattern_length': period,
'repetitions': repetitions
}
# Method 2: Long burst detection (e.g., "1111...")
if first_50[0] > mean(first_50) * 2: # First pulse much longer
return {'type': 'long_burst', 'duration': first_50[0]}
return None
```
**Benefit:** Narrow down protocols before full decode (faster + more accurate)
### Enhancement 4: Protocol Signature Expansion
**Current:** 25 protocols in `protocol_database.py`
**Target:** Expand to 100+ using RTL_433 JSON
**Automated Extraction Script:**
```python
def import_rtl433_protocols():
"""
Parse RTL_433 source code to extract timing signatures
RTL_433 C code format:
.short_width = 500,
.long_width = 1000,
.gap_limit = 2000,
.reset_limit = 5000,
"""
rtl433_repo = "~/rtl_433/src/devices/"
protocols = []
for c_file in glob(f"{rtl433_repo}/*.c"):
# Regex extraction from C structs
signature = extract_timing_from_c(c_file)
if signature:
protocols.append(ProtocolSignature(
name=signature['name'],
short_pulse_us=signature['short_width'],
long_pulse_us=signature['long_width'],
# ... more fields
))
return protocols
```
**Benefit:** 4x larger protocol database (25 → 100+), no manual curation
### Enhancement 5: Device Disambiguation via Metadata
**Problem:** Multiple devices have identical timing (e.g., Princeton = generic chipset)
**Solution:** Use secondary characteristics
```python
def disambiguate_matches(matches, metadata):
"""
Rank matches using:
1. Frequency exact match (higher weight)
2. Bit count exact match
3. Preamble pattern match
4. Geographic prior (common devices in region)
"""
scored = []
for match in matches:
score = match.confidence
# Bonus: Exact frequency match
if abs(match.frequency - metadata.frequency) < 10_000:
score *= 1.2
# Bonus: Bit count perfect match
bit_count = len(metadata.decoded_bits)
if match.min_bits <= bit_count <= match.max_bits:
if bit_count == match.typical_bits:
score *= 1.15
# Bonus: Preamble detected and matches
if metadata.preamble and match.preamble_pattern:
if metadata.preamble.startswith(match.preamble_pattern):
score *= 1.3
# Bonus: Common in user's region (from GPS)
if metadata.gps:
regional_devices = get_common_devices_nearby(metadata.gps)
if match.name in regional_devices:
score *= 1.1
scored.append((match, score))
return sorted(scored, key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)
```
**Benefit:** Princeton @ 433MHz + 24-bit → could be garage opener OR remote → GPS (residential area) → likely garage opener

- Purchase 10-20 common devices
- Capture ground-truth signals
- Use for accuracy benchmarking

## Quick Start
### View Current System:
```bash
cd /home/dell/coding/giglez
# See protocol database
python src/matcher/protocol_database.py
# Test pattern decoder
python src/matcher/pattern_decoder.py
# Check RTL_433 integration
python src/matcher/rtl433_decoder.py
```
### Test on Sample Data:
```bash
# We have RTL_433 test captures
ls data/rf_test_datasets/rtl_433_tests/tests/
# Example: Decode a weather sensor
python scripts/test_rtl433_with_known_devices.py
```
### Database Schema:
```sql
-- Key tables
captures (id, lat, lon, timestamp, frequency, file_path, pulse_count)
devices (id, name, manufacturer, category, frequency)
identifications (capture_id, device_id, confidence, method)
```
