Weather Station Xiron only showing temperature

stingone

Hello everyone.

I just bought a Xiron weather station. However the weather 11 is not working and it shows in debug weather 2 and 10 on channel 966 id 1… this is the log.

debug: received: [ 492, 992, 2028, 4012 ] 02020202010101020201020101010101020202010202010202020202010102020101010103

18:37:58.225 [pimatic-homeduino] debug: weather10: { id: 966, channel: 3, temperature: 23.7 }
18:39:17.182 [pimatic-homeduino] debug: data: “RF receive 492 2024 992 4020 0 0 0 0 01010101020202010102010202020202010101020101020101010101020201020101010103”

It is this station as below:

Brand: Xiron
Model: Xiron Weather Station
Type: weather11
Description: Sold via eBay and various shops elswhere, e.g. http://www.blokker.nl/nl/blknl/uit-de-folder-3/xiron-weerstation-1
Notes: has a selflerning mode. The id needs to bediscovered using the debug mode of pimatic-homeduino

How can i manage to get the humidity also working?

@stingone
the protocol needs to be adapted or maybe a new protocol needs to be created.
that’s some work for the homeduino “gurus”. If you want to try yourself have a look here https://github.com/pimatic/rfcontroljs/blob/master/README.md

Ok hopefully they will i dont know how to do…

There may be different models or batches of the remote sensor with varying characterstics.

Questions:

Can you please send a link to the product page where you bought the sensor?
Does the temperature shown in the debug log (weather2/weather10) matches the temperature displayed on the remote sensor? If so, you can use weather2 until we get the protocol definition fixed or added for your Xiron sensor

EDIT: For reference, this is the link to the earlier Xiron thread we had: http://forum.pimatic.org/topic/772/protocol-for-xiron-weather-station

This is the link http://www.blokker.nl/nl/blknl/beeld-geluid-en-foto/randapparatuur/xiron-weerstation-1

the temperature is shown in the debug log and works.fine only the humidity is missing.

@stingone
Looks similar to weather 11 with shorter pulseCount. Can You post more examples with different values (Temperature, humidity, channel, low battery)

These are de examples. I dont see any battery low option. but maybe its on there when its low.

Can you test this…

stop pimatic
go to the folder /home/pi/pimatic-app/node_modules/pimatic-homeduino/node_modules/homeduino/node_modules/rfcontroljs/lib/protocols
create a new file “weather13.js” and put this inside:

module.exports = function(helper) {
  var protocolInfo, pulsesToBinaryMapping;
  pulsesToBinaryMapping = {
    '01' '0',
    '02' '1',
    '03' ''
  };
  return protocolInfo = {
    name 'weather13',
    type 'weather',
    values {
      temperature {
        type number
      },
      humidity {
        type number
      },
      channel {
        type number
      },
      id {
        type number
      },
      lowBattery {
        type boolean
      }
    },
    brands [Xiron Temperature & Humidity Sensor2],
    pulseLengths [492, 992, 2028, 4012],
    pulseCount 74,
    decodePulses function(pulses) {
      var binary, lowBattery, result;
      binary = helper.map(pulses, pulsesToBinaryMapping);
      lowBattery = !helper.binaryToBoolean(binary, 8);
      return result = {
        id helper.binaryToNumber(binary, 0, 7),
        channel helper.binaryToNumber(binary, 10, 11) + 1,
        temperature helper.binaryToSignedNumber(binary, 12, 23)  10,
        humidity helper.binaryToNumber(binary, 28, 35),
        lowBattery lowBattery
      };
    }
  };
};

add “weather13” to /home/pi/pimatic-app/node_modules/pimatic-homeduino/node_modules/homeduino/node_modules/rfcontroljs/lib/controller.js (line 6)
start pimatic

EDIT:

Works like a Charm thanks thanks thanks… i copied weather 11 and updated with your values…and named it weather 13 so this protocol can be added than as the xiron blokker weather station…

Thanks @magic-tune for the investigation. I have added a pull request for the new protocol including a test case. See https://github.com/pimatic/rfcontroljs/pull/74
