Take charge of your own Ambient weather data with Raspberry Pi, MQTT, and Home Assistant.

День тому

No longer do you need to rely on external APIs to view and store weather data from your own personal weather station. I walk you through using a Raspberry Pi and USB SDR with rtl_433, MQTT, and Home Assistant to grab and graph your data.

So it's a new year and I need to set my rtl_433 stats to zero. I am running Home Assistant with MQTT and the rtl_433. Thanks Chris

@TheDanielsherer 2 роки тому

Chris, thanks so much for doing such a good job with this walk-thru! It's been a couple years since you did this but the menus haven't changed (too much) in HA, so it was easy to follow. I didn't have a spare Pi-4, but its running smoothly on a Pi-3b. Also, instead of "Buster", I installed Bullseye. Again, no issues. For me the big incentive of doing this is LESS about fear of "the cloud" not being accessible and MORE about not having a separate app/device that don't talk to each other. Oh, and also, being able to "see" all the other devices in my area. I mostly wanted to get my weather-station data. When I started seeing my gas meter and the sensors in my freezers, WOW, very happy. Keep up the good work!

@mostlychris 2 роки тому

Thanks! I have had random issues with the weather APIs being available. When our internet fails, it is usually due to storms and that is exactly when I want to get that wx station data. Having a local receiver pushing updates directly into HA is nice in those situations.

@geektoolkit 3 роки тому

I was researching before making a walkthrough video of the official integration and found this...I'll make sure to link to it because what you did is pretty epic and valuable work! Being able to bypass in case the cloud system goes down, or just for those that want to avoid the cloud entirely is super valuable!

@mostlychris 3 роки тому

Thanks! In the early days, we had lots of issues with WU and I wish I had this in place then. Ambient has been better but it has suffered issues as well. Keeping the data local and storing it in InfluxDB and displaying in Grafana has been awesome.

@TomWhi 3 роки тому

Chris - this is an amazing video. It inspired me to purchase and SDR dongle because I have a whole-house power consumption thing my power supplier gave to me which outputs to a small LDC display, it didn't have any information on it to say if it was transmitting on 433Mhz or if the signal was going to be encrypted but I thought I'd try it anyway - I followed your steps to the letter (by pasting them in) and the dongle started sniffing the air - I had to tweak the frequency until I found my power consumption unit - and then I started getting battered with data - it was amazing!! I managed to squirt all the data into InfluxDB directly (I don't have MQTT on my network) and then straight into Grafana. Thank you for taking the time to put the video together and capturing the commands so well.

@mostlychris 3 роки тому

Thanks!. One note on that unit. I had to be very specific about my SDR antenna location. Seems that there isn't much transmit power coming out of the sensor pack. I have lots of radiant heat (metal) barriers around my house and it attenuates the signal quite a bit. If you have signal issues, experiment with antenna location and maybe even different antenna types.

mostlychris, Very helpful and informative video. I really like how you explained the "chain of custody" as data moved from a R.F. transmitter to an icon on my Home Assistant dashboard. One question: could you explain the -D flags on the cmake command? Thanks.

@mostlychris 3 роки тому

Thanks! The cmake -D flags during install of rtl_433 have to deal with the USB drivers and how the USB dongle interacts with the system. Detaching the kernel driver prevents the kernel from using a generic driver and potentially preventing rtl from using the USB receiver. The udev flag adds in code to tell the pi how to handle the rtl receiver when it's plugged into the USB port.

@TMan4775 2 роки тому

Thanks Chris for your videos. I do have a question on this build, do you use a separate Raspberry Pi for this or do you use your existing Pi to plug in the Nesdr Mini 2+ that is configured for Home Assistant? Thanks again Chris.

@mostlychris 2 роки тому

I ran a separate pi just because I had it in the attic for better reception. If you were running your HA containerized which gave you access to the host OS, you might be able to run it all on one machine.

@kdsteele7 3 роки тому

Thanks for the video, Chris. Lots of great information here! After viewing it, I wanted to use the same technique to get openings and closings from some wireless Napco GEM-TRANSLP window and door sensors. Research indicated these sensors use 319.5Mhz and I used some waterfall software to confirm this. When I try to collect the openings and closings rtl_433 doesn't register anything. I expected rtl_433 to at least show some gibberish if it didn't recognize the device - but I get nothing. I know my setup is working, because if I change the frequency to 915Mhz, I see data from my own Ambient weather station. Any thoughts?

@mostlychris 3 роки тому

Every device has a specific way to decode it and I think rtl_433 just ignores anything it doesn't decode. In that case, you wouldn't see gibberish but rather nothing at all. There is a list of supported devices at github.com/merbanan/rtl_433. I am guessing, of course, but my guess would be that those sensors can't be decoded and so just get ignored. Join the forum and see if they have any answers. groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/rtl_433. If I recall, there is a healthy discussion going on about new devices.

@garyscott4109 2 роки тому

Many thanks, great instructional video and I have the receiver up and running. Quick question though. I noticed that during the cmake for rtl_433 it reports not finding 'SoapySDR' and 'Doxygen', was this expected and will it have an impact that I have not yet experienced? Best regards.

@mostlychris 2 роки тому

Soapy is one of the options for input. "Possible inputs are RTL-SDR, SoapySDR, and rtl_tcp.". If you are using RTL-SDR as the input, Soapy probably won't affect you.

@MrWatsop 3 роки тому

Hi Chris, following along with your video, think this is an amazing tutorial for the newbies like me. I have a few questions. Do you run home assistant on a separate pc using virtual machine or also from your raspberry pi? Can you use your raspberry pi still as you would normally if home assistant is installed on it?

@mostlychris 3 роки тому

Hey Gys. I run a separate Home Assistant server but I also run quite a few add-ons such as NodeRed, Grafana, and AdGuard. I wanted a bit more power than what was available in, at the time, the pi3. Now that pi4 is out, it might handle that workload. The use of the pi for Home Assistant and something else is all dependent on resources. I probably have 4 or 5 Pis around the house doing various things outside of HA. One is a P25 radio receiver and another an ADSB receiver, for example. If you can swing it, I'd leave HA to its own Pi considering the importance of what it is doing.

GW1000 receives 915MHz from the array, GW1000 puts it on WiFi to the raspberry. Weewx has an extension that reads the data. I'm building a solar station, looked at SDRs but most are power hogs. GW1000 uses 80mA.

@mostlychris 3 роки тому

The data is sent to the mqtt feed if you have the command line set that way. As far as I know it's not stored locally. SD cards can be easily corrupted if the device is not shut down properly or the power gets yanked. Could be a corrupted card. Hard to tell without more info though.

I have been running those for a long time in the heat of the attic (and cold when it gets cold) and they just keep trucking along. Unless I had a need for wide bandwidth, for single purpose, single frequency use, I would just stick with the less expensive devices. I would, however, get the TCXO stable oscillator versions so there isn't frequency drift. Those are still on the less expensive end and I have a few of those as well.
