Home made 433-sensor not showing up in Homey. #96

Hi!

I have a home made barometric pressure sensor that uses an Arduino and transmits over the Oregon rain meter protocol. This sensor works great in my old hub (Telldus Tellstick/TelldusLive!) but I can't get it to show up in Homey. In the Telldus system 433-sensors just show up by themselves but as you know Homey requires an app...which in my opinion is a much better system.

I have several factory sensors using the same protocol that shows up in your great app, but this one does not. The info I can get regarding the sensor from the Telldus system is this:

Protocol: oregon Model: 2914 Sensor ID: 272 Channel id: 30

Does this help in anyway? I would really like to include this sensor in Homey so I can ditch the old Telldus system. The sensor is also the most important sensor for me personally.

Thank you in advance! Fred from Sweden

Hi Fred, Id 2914 is supported. So from that perspective it should show up if you have Oregon v3 active. Is the timing it sends conforming to the protocol? What you can try is see if it shows up with the Oregon app (that might use a slightly different signal definition). Or try a different value for 'manchesterUnit' (line 817 in app.json). There is no way for me to test or help with this in any way.

Thank you for your quick reply Ramón!

I checked and I do have Oregon v3 active in the app.

I don't know if the timing it sends conform with the protocol. Is this how often the sensor sends data? How often should it send? I can change that in the Arduino code to any number. It's been a while since I did the programming but I think the send interval is set to 10 seconds (I like to follow the barometric pressure closely).

I have tried to install the Oregon app since yesterday...but it refuses to show up in Homey. The app has not been updated since 3 years so it's probably a dead app.

You wrote: "try a different value for 'manchesterUnit' (line 817 in app.json)" Sorry, I don't know what that means.

I understand that you can't test this and maybe it's above my ability to fix. That the sensor doesn't show up in Homey is more of a nuisance for me and nothing critical...but I do like a challenge when things doesn't work the way I want it to. ;-)

Cheers!
