When I start rtl_433, I get a list of protocols that begin with the following...

pi@raspberrypi:~/rtl_433/build $ rtl_433 -F json
Registering protocol [1] "Rubicson Temperature Sensor"
Registering protocol [2] "Prologue Temperature Sensor"
Registering protocol [3] "Waveman Switch Transmitter"

...and end like the following....

Registering protocol [79] "X10 Security"
Registering protocol [80] "Interlogix GE UTC Security Devices"
Registered 80 out of 100 device decoding protocols

How can I get a list of protocols with corresponding references for use with the -R option? The only way I know how to find the -R value is to go online and look it up in the docs. How can I determine it from the command line? Something like this...

rtl_433 -L
Supported device protocols:
    [01]* Silvercrest Remote Control
    [02]  Rubicson Temperature Sensor
    [03]  Prologue Temperature Sensor

Note these indexes don't match the ones above. That's the problem. Very confusing!

The reason I ask is that I've added a new sensor and it shows up and works...

Registering protocol [81] "Sensible Living Mini-Plant Moisture Sensor"

...but I have no idea how to reference it with the -R option. I don't know how these references are assigned.

Hi Scott,

You might try rtl_433 -h

Thank you. So simple it's downright embarrassing!

Please be prepared for more self-humiliation on my part as I struggle to submit this new protocol. Clone the project, add my changes, submit a pull request, yes?
