Fine Offset WH24 weatherstation via RTL_433 only shows temp./humidity

[kfeelders]

Hi, i have installed latest beta Domoticz (10.618) on Raspberry pi latest level (3B+) and installed both RTL-SDR and RTL_433 latest levels.
I have a RTL-SDR dongle running now and it receives a Fine Offset WH24 weatherstation.

A native RTL_433 (so without Domoticz) shows all kind of data from this station (temp. humidity, rain, wind dir. wind speed UV, UVI etc.)

But under Domoticz, i only receive the WH24 temp and hum. sensor data.
Why does it miss the other sensor data?

When adding the -F json parameter under HARDWARE it shows in the log this extra data, so it is received (as Unhandled senser), see:

As far as i understand, the Fine Offset WH24 station is supported as it shows in rtl_433/src/devices/fineoffset.c

Please help to understand why i only see the WH24 temp. and hum. sensor only.

I ugraded Domoticz to latest beta V4.10619 (went from V3.**** to V4.970 to V4.10608 to V4.10618) but still no extra sensors seen.

Kees

[kfeelders]

No one from the Domoticz camp who knows why the data presented by RTL_433 is not accepted/recognized/handled by Domoticz?

Upgrade to V4.10683 beta, and found some new entries from the WH24 station in the log:

Could this data be of any help (it states "Please report")

When i import the above Unhandeled sensor data (csv file output) into excel i get a nice comma seperated overview of this WH24 data, see attached Excel file with the required data nicely ordered.

Hi,

Just for information, I have the same problem with a Bresser 5in1 weather station and rtl433 (domoticz 10717 stable on RPI3)
Everything is good with rtl433 in command line, but only temp and humidity shown on Domoticz ...

viewtopic.php?f=12&t=27847

I hope to found a solution ...

[kfeelders]

.
Thanks for the info Jeremob.


Running at V4.10724 since today, but still no extra sensors seen.

Hoping for a solution too.

Kees

[mpx2]

I have a similar problem. Everything works on command line but Domoticz discards part of the ID value.

I see you have a lot more headers... so you are probably using a newer RTL433 version then the author of the RTL433 class in domoticz has tested against.

You can always try to debug this yourself, all code is in RTl433.cpp/h, and it's not so difficult

A PR on github would be great

[kfeelders]

Thanks gizmocuz,

but the headers presented by the Fine Offset WH24 are already known in Domoticz, see picture (below) of the cleaned up
"WH24 data.xlsx" i attached earlier.

I will take a look at RTL433.cpp/h

I am unable to locate Rtl433.cpp or Rtl433.c on my installation.
Also the Domoticz/Hardware directory is not there, so i wonder if my Domoticz installation is somehow not complete.

I will build a fresh setup on an usb stick to see if it will contain those now missing items.

Kees

[kfeelders]

.
Did a new installation on an USBstick.

latest Raspberry code, latest Domoticz code, latest RTL-SDR code and latest RTL433 code.
Now i see the domoticz/hardware directory with in it RTL433.cpp etc.

Now to find out how to debug this.....

If would be really great it you could fix RTL433.cpp. Many sensors doesn't work with RFLink but work with RTL433, but RTL433 doesn't work with Domoticz. RTL433 is open source and gets regular updates. RFLink is closed source and last update was released in 2017.

[mpx2]

Maybe a plugin would be better than RTL433.cpp in Domotic'zs source code. If we are lucky it takes a year to get RTL433.cpp fixed and a new release of Domoticz. It seems that nobody want's to touch the source code.

Looking at rtl433.cpp

(https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/bl ... Rtl433.cpp) ,

do i understand correctly that presently we "look" for:

time (start line 107),
unit
channel
battery
temperature_C
temperature_F
humidity
pressure_hpa
rain
rain_total
depth_cm
depth
windstrength wind_speed
average
winddirection wind_direction
direction
wind_gust
gust
moisture (stop line 316)

in the CSV header / data files on line 33 etc.?

As can be seen in my post above (10 may 16:56) in the tabel the WH24 presents date under the headers:

time (ok)
model (ok)
id (ok)
battery (ok)
temperature_C (ok)
mic (not included)
humidity (ok)
wind_dir_deg (not included)
uv (not included)
rainfall_mm (not included)
wind_speed_ms (not included)
gust_speed_ms (not included)
uvi (not included)
light_lux (not included)

Does that mean that RTL433.cpp needs to be modified to include also those "not included" headers?

thanks, Kees

[kfeelders]

Hmmmm,

since my update to V4.10821 this morning i don't see the Fine Offset WH24 sensor subtype WTGR800 (temp. nor hum.) anymore.

What was changed to cause this?


Kees

[kfeelders]

.

Update to V4.10826, the WH24 temp/hum sensor is back.

Not sure though if it was a temporary hickup of the WH24 sensor or a change in the Domoticz code.

Anyway, still figuring out why not more sensors of this WH24 weatherstation (wind / rain / uv) are reporerted.....

Kees

[blitt001]

The problem is that they did a change in the file Rtl433.cpp.

If you take a look at this file, you will see that when a sensor is detected with temperature and huminity, it will return from the function and it will never handle the other sensors of the WH24 (wind etc). So actually this is a bug. THe previous stable version 4.9700 did not have this problem

Take a look in my modified file. Sure that my modification solves the issue.

Good luck in recompiling domoticz

[kfeelders]

.
Thanks Blitt,

i am sure i also tried with V4.9700 in the first place, see my 2th post above, but only the temp/hum sensors was seen.
But i will try to use your rtl433.cpp file, thanks a lot.....
