Hi, using the homey developer feature to record a signal I have captured the signal of a remote on the 433MHz frequency. Result: a .vcd file. While I was able to have a look at the signal using gtkwave, I am struggling to change it into a format of raw timings that you can paste into the developer page and use as input to emulate the signal.  
Any advice would be appreciated!

I made a tool for it: [https://github.com/harriedegroot/Athom-Homey-RF-Signal-Analyzer](https://github.com/harriedegroot/Athom-Homey-RF-Signal-Analyzer)
