Unsupported format for AcuriteTowerPacket and Acurite5n1Packet added #59

Closed networkname closed 4 years ago

Modified sdr.py to support the a different sensor format. I called themAcuriteTowerPacketV2 and Acurite5n1PacketV2. Adding new classes seemed cleaner than continuing to add to the existing formats. Also, I included all the fields. I find the SNR and such helpful. Anyway hope this might help someone else. I would check this into the repository but do not think I have access.

what arguments do you feed to rtl_433 to get the json output for these?

This caused a head-scratching moment for me. Well, more than a moment. I'm moving my weewx from one RPi to another and also upgrading a zillion things along the way. When I copied over my working SDR config to the new environment, nothing was being reported. The weewx main packet loop just seemed dead. Everything else seemed fine, including running sdr.py standalone. After an embarrassingly long time, I finally noticed the V2 suffix. Doh!

I'm not sure what makes my station be seen as Acurite5n1PacketV2 instead of Acurite5n1Packet as it was before. It's the same transmitter. I'm mentioning this here in case it helps some other unobservant person
