I would like to use the TI USB serial port to capture the temperature information. The TI USB port registers as a COM port that I can access with pySerial. Now the datasheet from the temperature probe only says that the RF frequency is 433MHz and that it transmits every 39 seconds. Since I don't know what protocol the thermometer uses or baud rate, I want to look at the rawest level of data collected with the USB com port and see if I can make anything out of the gobbledy gook coming in. Is there a way to get this kind of data from pySerial? I've tried scanning at different baud rates but so far I haven't captured anything.

Does pySerial override the settings for baud rate, etc in windows device manager or do I need to set those to match what I'm using in pySerial?

That datasheet says """This product is compatible with various wireless 
weather station products."""

OK, so that suggests that there's a standard of some kind somewhere.

Googling for """wireless weather station protocol""" gives:

and that page leads to:

Good luck!
