@axled said in weather sensor: is it possible to port code from RTL433:
Option 4 is the right answer to my question. I want to reuse code and i know that this is not done by copy and paste as the RTL433 uses a different (development) language than rfcontroljs. I did some javascript modules for magicmirror, so maybe i can figure out (with some tips/help) how to implement new protocols.
ok, I see. Btw, are you able to receive the raw data for all sensors with pimatic-homeduino. You may need to enable the debug mode for that. See also https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/210/5-homeduino-and-rf-devices-433-mhz-transmitting-receiving
If you don’t see raw data probes for weather sensors for which there is no applicable weather protocol implemented in rfcontroljs it make no sense start implementing a new protocol.
New question: By the way, does anyone have a tip, how to reduce² the receiving sensitivity of a RBX6 (433Mhz) receiver, as i want to make sure, i see only my “weather sensor” for developing/implementing new protocol. Can i put my receiver and my weather sensor in a metal box or similar to reduce the receiving sensitivity?
Not as far as I know. You can shield the antenna to lower the range but this may also increase noise. A metal box may do, however note, the sensor should also not be placed too close to the receiver as this can cause interference if the HF part of the RBX6 is unshielded (see picture below for shielded model). If you have a shielded model it may be ok.
