4 years ago Apparently this project is dead if basic protocol additions sit endlessly. If I could compile the source I would, but simplicity studio is not very simple.

4 years ago I'm sorry you aren't getting what you want. Coming to open source projects with that sense of entitlement is rarely helpful and contributes to a lot of project owners burning out.
If something is beyond your skill level it is not anyone's responsibility to provide it for you.

4 years ago That's certainly one way to look at it. I have all of my code I've written shared for others and don't ask anything in return. Writing code is not beyond my capability but apparently installing the specific compiler this project requires is. I have commented in other issues here about this and others seem to have similar problems with the compiler. If I could get Simplicity Studio installed, I'd be able to contribute the solution which I've already done for Arduino. FWIW, this is perhaps the first time someone has suggested I'm entitled, but cool.

4 years ago @bkenobi, at first I too found simplicity studio very very hard to install. I wrote about this already. I was trying on a Mac and one day I decided to try on Windows. Maybe the opsys has nothing to do with it and I was on a better day but fact is I managed to make it work on Win 10 and I was able to compile the sources to include my Lacrosse sensors.
After some time it even started to make sense, I mean the way Simplicity Studio is organized and how it works.
What happened at the end is that one of four sensors was never detected and the bridge eventually missed transmissions from a second sensor. Probably needed some tweaking on the timings but my energy and love for the sonoff bridge had all been wasted fighting with Simp Studio, and I just dropped it in the failure box and set up a SDR receiver on a RPi running rtl_433 under Raspbian.
You then have two choices, either keep fighting Simplicity Studio - it’s doable - or take the rtl_433 route. The latter works like a charm and inserting new protocols is far easier.

3 years ago FWIW, I would also love to see this particular protocol (and other similar Acurite devices) implemented. I haven't tried my hand at Simplicity Studio yet, but I might sometime because I rather not run a full RPi and rtl_433 just to pull signals.
One thought that occurs to me, is I wonder how difficult it would be to simply translate the protocols already defined in rtl_433 to Portisch? I mean, ultimately, it's the same basic specs I think -- it's just a matter of transcribing.
Being an OSS developer for well over 20 years I can appreciate the idea that people shouldn't make demands. Consider this however a big ole' thumbs-up on this protocol if someone has time to implement it (and I don't at least try).
Latest firmware used?
Be sure you tried the latest release or the newest binary of the firmware! Tasmota 8.1.0 Portisch Keil 9.53 (Mar 26, 2019)
Information
What device you try to sniff data from? Description? Brand and type? Acurite 5-in-1 weather station VN1TXC
Sniffed data
Post your sniffed data by command 0xB1 or 0xA6.
I captured data using an USB SDR at the same time:
I also know the protocol is: 3 sync pulses of 600us (600 high, 600 low repeated 3 times). Followed by data consisting of 400us and 200us pulses. 1 bit is 400 high then 200 low 0 bit is 200 high then 400 low There are 2 types of packets that alternate. Humidity and rainfall are sent in alternating packets. Other data is provided in all packets.
If there is more information I can provide, let me know. I tried to figure out how to add this to the firmware myself but could not get Simplicity Studio 4 set up in a way I could load the project. If there is a guide on getting your project loaded, I can take another look. Also, 2 other known protocols I would like to get incorporated. If this Acurite weather station work with the bridge, I'll be able to provide these 2 other protocols as well.
