Alecto WS-1200 sensor not showing up

[epjjansen-zz]

Hi I bought a Alecto WS-1200 so I could measure the outside temperature But in Homey the sensor does not show up Distance Sensor <-> Homey 10cm. Homey Firmware Version: 1.5.5

Any suggestions?

Can you download statistics and attach the JSON file here?

There is no signal received at all. How long was the app running? You could try to power off Homey and restart - sometimes that helps to bring the 433Mhz reception back.

[epjjansen-zz]

I have Rebooted Homey 2 times The sensor is laying besides Homey for 48 hours now Restarted the App 3 times now in the last 48 hours No result.

[nlrb]

Are other 433Mhz apps working (e.g. Klik-Aan-Klik-Uit)?

[epjjansen-zz]

they did before, but I have not used them for a while due to a replacement scenemaker Will let you now this evening

[epjjansen-zz]

All other "Klik-Aan-Klik-Uit" devices didn't work either. Found the solution, a hard reset of homey fixed the 433Mhz receiver. I had to unplug the power, wait for 10 seconds and it works now

Good to hear! Do you have another JSON file for me? Then I can use that data in my test scripts. I don't have any WS-1200 data yet.

Thanks!

I have also a Philips alarmclock with an external sensor. Will try to connect it also. Seems to run on 433Mhz also. Keep you posted

[nlrb]

I'm confused now: the data is from a WS-1100, not a WS-1200....

stats1512975455671.zip Now with WS-1100 AND WS-1200 stats

[nlrb]

All data in this file has CRC errors and is unusable.

[epjjansen-zz]

This is what I get from Homey, both sensors are outside. The Rain sensor WS-1200 is still covered in snow. Maybe this causes the errors

[nlrb]

Well, only the last 12 readings are stored in the JSON file and the pass/fail ratio of your current readings is 50/50. You can just look at the JSON file with a text editor and see if the last data entries are OK or not.

[epjjansen-zz]

I will move the sensor closer to Homey. It will get less rain, but hopefully a better reading. Keep you posted.

last .json with a better pass/fail ratio

[nlrb]

Yes, but unfortunately only data of the WS-1100... For the WS-1200 the length is > 40.

[epjjansen-zz]

the new Homey Firmware Version: 1.5.6-rc.6 is just installed. With this version the WS-1200 does not show up anymore. Will it help if I remove the app and start over?

[nlrb]

That is very strange. Re-installing the app won't help with that. The same code is used for receiving the signal of the WS-1100 and the WS-1200.

[epjjansen-zz]

More people are complaining about the 1.5.6-rc.6 which causes all the 433 devices to break.

[nlrb]

Good to know, but do you have a reference? I don't see an issue on GitHub for it.

[epjjansen-zz]

It is on the forum https://forum.athom.com/discussion/comment/64307/#Comment_64307

[epjjansen-zz]

In RC 11 the ws-1200 showed up, but broke again in Homey Firmware Version: 1.5.6

[nlrb]

Yes, that makes sense. See https://github.com/athombv/homey/issues/2075#issuecomment-366507352.

@nlrb Hi Ramón, I would like to donate my WS-1200 Sensor and original display and WS-1100 sensor to you. So you can develop the app for Homey. I have switched to a zigbee sensor instead. Plz tel me where to send it.

[nlrb]

Hi Erwin, that is very kind. I already have the WS-1100 myself and I guess the WS-1200 works the same (as you said it showed up in FW 1.5.6). What I need most right now is Homey FW with properly working 433Mhz reception :-). Grtz R.
