# GigLez Implementation Summary ## Overview This document summarizes the comprehensive implementation of improvements to GigLez's RF device identification system, focusing on: 1. **Large-scale signature database import** (Flipper Zero + RTL_433) 2. **Automatic device matching on upload** 3. **Manual device labeling for training data** 4. **ML/Neural network design** (research and architecture) 5. **JavaScript-based deployment** for browser inference --- ## 📊 Datasets Acquired ### Quality Labeled .sub File Datasets #### 1. **Flipper Zero Collections** (38,118 .sub files total) | Repository | Files | Quality | Description | |------------|-------|---------|-------------| | **Zero-Sploit/FlipperZero-Subghz-DB** | 13,716 | ★★★☆☆ | Largest collection, organized by protocol/device type | | **UberGuidoZ/Flipper** | 11,284 | ★★★★☆ | Well-organized, active community, multi-format | | **Full_Flipper_Database** | 13,118 | ★★★☆☆ | Large collection, mixed quality | **Download Location:** `/path/to/giglez/data/` **Automatic Labeling Strategy:** - Extract device info from file path structure - Example: `Weather_stations/Oregon_Scientific/THGN123N.sub` → Manufacturer: Oregon Scientific, Type: Weather Sensor - Confidence scoring based on path clarity #### 2. **RTL_433 Test Files** (3,216 .cu8 + 1,873 .json) | Source | Files | Quality | Description | |--------|-------|---------|-------------| | **merbanan/rtl_433_tests** | 3,216 | ★★★★★ | 100% labeled, known protocols, test data from official repo | **Format:** `.cu8` (raw IQ samples) + `.json` (decoded device metadata) **Protocols Covered:** -

6 datasets downloaded - 41,334 total captures - Organized by category (weather sensors, garage doors, etc.) - Test subset created in `/data/test_rtl433_real/` --- ## 🗄️ Database Import System ### Import Script **Location:** `/path/to/giglez/scripts/import_signatures_to_db.py` **Features:** 1. **Flipper Zero Signature Import** - Parses .sub files from downloaded datasets - Extracts device info from file paths using regex patterns - Creates `Device` and `Signature` records - Deduplicates by file hash (SHA256) - Stores Flipper-specific metadata in `FlipperSignature` table 2. **RTL_433 Protocol Import** - Parses .json metadata files - Extracts protocol definitions (name, ID, frequency) - Creates trusted device records (verified=True) - Links to RTL_433 protocol numbers ### Usage ```bash # Import all sources python3 scripts/import_signatures_to_db.py --all # Import only Flipper signatures (with limit) python3 scripts/import_signatures_to_db.py --flipper --limit 10000 # Import only RTL_433 protocols python3 scripts/import_signatures_to_db.py --rtl433 ``` ### Device Type Patterns **Automatic Classification:** - Weather station, Garage door, Gate opener, Doorbell - Door sensor, Motion sensor, Smoke detector - Remote control, Car key fob, TPMS - Security system, Alarm system **Manufacturer Recognition:** - Chamberlain, LiftMaster, Genie, Linear - Oregon Scientific, Acurite, LaCrosse, Ambient Weather - Honeywell, Nest, Ring, Yale - Toyota, Schrader, NICE, CAME, BFT ### Expected Results After full import: - **15,000+** labeled device signatures from Flipper datasets - **200+** RTL_433 protocol definitions - **High-quality training dataset** for ML models --- ## 🔍 Automatic Device Matching ### Enhanced Upload Endpoint **Location:** `/path/to/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", "status": "uploaded", "file_hash": "abc123...", "frequency": 433920000, "protocol": "Princeton", "matches": [ { "device_id": 42, "manufacturer": "Chamberlain", "model": "891LM", "device_type": "Garage Door Opener", "confidence": 0.95, "method": "exact_match" }, { "device_id": 58, "manufacturer": "LiftMaster", "model": "893LM", "device_type": "Garage Door Opener", "confidence": 0.85, "method": "pattern_match" } ], "manual_label": false } ], "failed": [] } ``` --- ## 📝 Manual Device Labeling System ### Frontend Components #### 1. **JavaScript .sub Parser** **Location:** `/path/to/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:** `/path/to/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 --- ## 🧠 ML/Neural Network Design ### Comprehensive Research Document **Location:** `/path/to/giglez/docs/ML_DESIGN.md` (6,345 lines) ### Key Findings from Research #### Papers Reviewed: 1. **"Deep Learning for RF Signal Classification"** (Shi & Davaslioglu, 2019) -
