RTL433 wrong start parameter

Post by oliv81 »

Hi,

I'm new to Domoticz but it seems that i'm not lucky with my first experience, as i tryied RTL433 and always get a failure in the console.

I spent 3 hours trying to make RTL433 work and discovered that Domoticz is sending some invalid parameters to start the application

My question is simple : Is it possible to edit/override the parameters sent to start the RTL433 process ?

Thank for your support

Olivier
----------

This is the call to cmd.exe that is sent by domoticz.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c C:\rtl_433.exe -F csv -q -I 2

And this is the answer from rtl433 (and the process exits)

C:\rtl_433.exe: unknown option -- I
rtl_433, an ISM band generic data receiver for RTL2832 based DVB-T receivers

Usage: = Tuner options =
[-d <RTL-SDR USB device index>] (default: 0)
[-g <gain>] (default: 0 for auto)
[-f <frequency>] [-f...] Receive frequency(s) (default: 433920000 Hz)
[-p <ppm_error] Correct rtl-sdr tuner frequency offset error (default: 0)
[-s <sample rate>] Set sample rate (default: 250000 Hz)
[-S] Force sync output (default: async)
= Demodulator options =
[-R <device>] Enable only the specified device decoding protocol (can be used multiple times)
[-G] Enable all device protocols, included those disabled by default
[-l <level>] Change detection level used to determine pulses [0-16384] (0 = auto) (default: 0)
[-z <value>] Override short value in data decoder
[-x <value>] Override long value in data decoder
[-n <value>] Specify number of samples to take (each sample is 2 bytes: 1 each of I & Q)
= Analyze/Debug options =
[-a] Analyze mode. Print a textual description of the signal. Disables decoding
[-A] Pulse Analyzer. Enable pulse analyzis and decode attempt
[-D] Print debug info on event (repeat for more info)
[-q] Quiet mode, suppress non-data messages
[-W] Overwrite mode, disable checks to prevent files from being overwritten
= File I/O options =
[-t] Test signal auto save. Use it together with analyze mode (-a -t). Creates one file per signal
Note: Saves raw I/Q samples (uint8 pcm, 2 channel). Preferred mode for generating test files
[-r <filename>] Read data from input file instead of a receiver
[-m <mode>] Data file mode for input / output file (default: 0)
0 = Raw I/Q samples (uint8, 2 channel)
1 = AM demodulated samples (int16 pcm, 1 channel)
2 = FM demodulated samples (int16) (experimental)
3 = Raw I/Q samples (cf32, 2 channel)
Note: If output file is specified, input will always be I/Q
[-F] kv|json|csv Produce decoded output in given format. Not yet supported by all drivers.
[-C] native|si|customary Convert units in decoded output.
[-T] specify number of seconds to run
[-U] Print timestamps in UTC (this may also be accomplished by invocation with TZ environment variable set).
[<filename>] Save data stream to output file (a '-' dumps samples to stdout)

Hi,

I found that the binaries available from the link given in the wiki are too old and doesn't support the parameter -I.
I need to find some updated binaries or a way to compile it by myself...

If somebody has a link to dowload the latest windows binaries, it would be really appreciated.

With thanks !

unfortunately! I have the same problem :-( It seems that the problem is with hardcoded path to "rtl_433.exe" file. I found in domoticz.exe hardcoded path as "c:\rtl_433.exe".

Only one way to resolve this problem is to copy "rtl_433.exe" into main cataog on disk C:

:-(
