Rtl-sdr fault windows

Post by phoenixblue »

Hi,

Question, I want to use the rtl433 function at my Domoticz environment in windows.
But when I check the log is see every 30 sec the next error.

2017-08-01 22:43:45.284 Rtl433: Failure! Retrying in 30 seconds

When I run manual the rtl433.exe it's normal running.
So I think that something is wrong with the run parameters but I'm not able to check what Domoticz is use for parameters.
Somebody some experience to let run this part under windows?

Hi,

Small update, when I look into this file -> https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/bl ... Rtl433.cpp
row 113 I see this part for windows:

Code: Select all

#ifdef WIN32

		std::string szCommand = "C:\\rtl_433.exe " + szFlags;

		m_hPipe = _popen(szCommand.c_str(), "r");
So the rtl_433.exe must be in the root of the c:\ only the extra "\" is i think 1 to much so domoticz is not able to find rtl_433.exe
Now i'm not able to compile for test the source so i hope somebody can check if this is the solution to run it inside windows.

Hi everybody,

I have the same problem. RTL433 fails to start in domoticz but work well in an external terminal.
Did you find the solution ?
I'm on a windows form with the latest stable 4.9 version of domoticz.
Thank for your answers,
Sam

When you use the latest RTL433, you need to use the beta version of domoticz because the command line parameters have been changed

Hi Gizmocuz,
Thank you for your answer but....

I've installed the latest beta version 4.10300 and the problem is the same.
When Domoticz launch RTL433.exe, it open a cmd terminal to execute it and i saw this line :
Spoiler: show
C:\rtl-433.exe: unknown option -- I
and then it crash !
Rtl433 failed ! in domoticz log.

it seems that domotic launch rtl433 with this "-I" option that is not supported !

What do you think ?

Regards,
Sam
