Cresta TX-320 or equivalent

Hi,
Can the Cresta TX-320 be added to the supported devices?
http://www.weerstationkopen.nl/accessoi ... kan-sensor
Or is there already a cheap RF thermometer that is supported?
Thanks

I think it already is supported

I can confirm, it is supported...
But you have to enable (Hideki/UPM) protocol under the RFXtrx433(e) hardware settings

The Cresta TX320 is supported. (I have 4 TX320's working just fine together with about 10 other temperature sensors)
Of course you do not have to enable anything as the RFLink Gateway does not force you to choose between protocols.

Upto 6 of these tx 320 running here.
As long as they have a different hardware ID they will work just fine with only 3 'channels' available.

How often does the TX320 give a measurement? I want to use it to switch my bathroom fan when taking a shower, but it would be useless if it only takes a measurement every 10 minutes to save batteries or something.

I believe it does a measurement in every minute or so.

Quick question, just to be sure: How many of these can I use at the same time?
I now have 3 (each using a separate channel)
As others are using more, are multiple sensors on the same channel supported?

Are you using RFXCOM, or RFLink? With RFXCOM it's not advised (though it's possible
) to use more than 3 (assuming they're on different channels) as it's theoretically possible that devices might transmit in the exact same time (the result is interference, no data transmitted).

Why is that not a problem with rflink?

I use a RFLink.

No idea.. I have 5 of these and additionally a cresta wind/rain/temperature sensor.. and all works fine.

If they send at the same time take out the battery for a few seconds to change the timing.

I have the RFXcom and 3 of these sensors.
2 of them work just fine with the RFXcom, but the one closest to the receiver is not. That one is only seen about once or twice a day.
The Homewizard, is receiving all three just fine.
The troubling one is on channel 1 and I am not sure if the HomeWizard will still see it if I switch it to another channel. (ID's differ for all sensors)
I tried to disconnect the batteries yesterday, just to make sure it is not interfering with something else, but since then the RFXcom did not see it anymore.
Anyone ever experienced something similar?

From the weerspecialist.nl site (sorry, in Dutch)
ook te gebruiken op Homewizard, RFXcom USB

I know it works with Homewizard and RFXcom USB, since I have both.
However, from the 3 sensors (Cresta TX-320) I have, one is not working properly with the RFXcom and I wondered if it could be related to the channel.
I also already exchanged the antenna of the RFXcom, just to make sure it is not antenna related. (on the receiving side)

Hmm, it appears that restarting by removing the batteries does generate a new ID.
The "new" device was found after I restarted it and does react to the temp differences caused by holding it in my hand (and really close to the receiver)
And I found about 5 other devices in the neighborhood which appear to work on the same channel, sending something like a temperature. Device-ID: TFA 30.3133)
Perhaps these other devices cannot be received by the homewizard, but can be 'heard' by the RFXcom.

Try changing the channel
