Rtl 433 RTL-SDR receiver : rtl_433 startup failed

[DemeilliezBruno]

Hello everyone,

I start on Domoticz.
I installed Domoticz (v4.9700) on a Raspberry Pi Model B with the Raspbian Stretch OS (2018-11-13).
I am having problems using the "RTL 433 - RTL-SDR Receiver".
In the Domoticz log file, I have the following information:
---
2018-12-28 18: 00: 36.271 Status: Rtl433: Worker stopped ...
2018-12-28 18: 00: 37.324 Status: Rtl433: Worker started ...
2018-12-28 18: 00: 37.433 Status: Rtl433: rtl_433 startup failed. Make sure it's properly installed (rtl_433 -f csv -q -I 2 2> / dev / null). https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433
---

If I run command line "rtl_433 -F csv -q -I 2 2" I get the following message:

---

quiet option (-q) is default and deprecated. See -v to increase verbosity
include_only (-I) is deprecated. Use -S none | all | unknown |

If I remove the options "-q -I 2 2", it works perfectly against.

It seems that the parameters is hard-coded in the C file (see https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/bl ... Rtl433.cpp)
I did not find how to change these default settings when launching rtl_433 by domoticz via the interface.
Can someone help me to change these settings without having to modify Domoticz sources?

In advance a very big thank you,

Have a nice day and a very good new year,

Best regards,

Bruno

Hi everybody,

I'm a new user of Domoticz since one week. It's a great software ! Thank you for its development.
Everything work great but.....
I've got the same problem than Bruno for the RTL433;
I'm on Windows7 and RTL433 fails to start in domoticz.
here is the log content :

2019-01-11 01:59:44.529 Status: Rtl433: Worker started...
2019-01-11 01:59:44.800 Status: Rtl433: Failure! Retrying in 30 seconds...
2019-01-11 02:00:15.082 Status: Rtl433: Failure! Retrying in 30 seconds...
2019-01-11 02:00:45.544 Status: Rtl433: Failure! Retrying in 30 seconds...

No problem in an external terminal in command line where i get some 433 temperature sensor data without any problem.
Could you please check for this bug ?

Thank you very much !

Hello, it's my dirty hack in rtl_433 not domoticz:

Ok, it works !!!

Thank you very much.

Hi,

ph1nt proposed a modification of the rtl_433.c program that is in rtl_sdr/src directory.
I made this change in the code, compile again rtl component and it worked perfectly.

I hope this helps you.

Best regards
Josep

Hi,


I have exactly the same error on my RPi :

2019-02-13 10:15:48.149 Status: Rtl433: rtl_433 startup failed. Make sure it's properly installed (rtl_433 -F csv -q -I 2 2>/dev/null). https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433

Have you find a solution ?
The workaround is to edit the Rtl433.cpp ? Where is it ? How to do that ?

Thanks a lot
