Domoticz

But as I was looking at the code, the way Domoticz interprets the RTL_433 output is kind-a hokey and didn't support any of the devices I was interested in. So I just created my own RTL_433 2 Domoticz wrapper. Even if you get the plugin going, you may be disappointed as it's quite limited.

Hi,

Have you find a solution on Linux to use RTL_433 ?

Thanks

I do. I created a wrapper for RTL_433 that will take the output and post it to MQTT, if you have Domoticz MQTT enabled it will post updated to that. It's not designed to be run from inside Domoticz, but rather as a completely separate process, that way you can execute it on a different machine. The configuration can be complex if you don't understand regular expressions. I didn't want to get into the same trap as the plugin by hardcoding everything so it takes a re-compile if Domoticz or RTL_433 changes, so the only way was using regular expressions in the config file.

If you're interested I can clean up the code and write a bit of documentation and post it on GitHub. But I'll take me some time to do that and this will only ever really work for Linux.
