Re: New Acurite Lightning Detector

Thanks rct! I do have rtl_433 running on a RasPi. I have so many 433mhz devices that I have to remove the antenna (leaving the base attached of course) and place the desired device next to it just to isolate the signal. But I've yet to try my hand at decoding.

I'll order the lightning sensor and get some data to you once I have it. I also have the Room Monitor, outdoor temp/hum, leak detector, soil probe - all in need of decoding!

Ok, you win, you've got more devices then I do.   Would really like to see some sample signals from all of those other devices.  Removing the antenna to help isolate seems like a reasonable solution.  Hopefully having it so close won't distort the signal/overload the receiver.   Note: You might wind up needing to tweak the pulse widths a little bit once you've got the antenna reconnected and have the sensor placed away from the receiver.

What I do which isn't automated is I record for a while with
Code: [Select]
rtl_433 -p NN -a -t.    Then I run through the captured files with a for loop and send the output to a file.  Then I review the output looking to see what files didn't decode / might have the new device of interest.  So I do something like this:

Code: [Select]
for f in gfile*data; do echo ============ $F ============; rtl_433 -q -l 0 -r $f;echo " "; echo " ";done > /tmp/out.txt 2>&1
