Support RTL-SDR Blog V4 Dongle #181

Closed jochakovsky closed 9 months ago

jochakovsky commented 9 months ago

The problem

The RTL-SDR Blog V4 requires an updated version of librtlsdr (see the Debian section in https://www.rtl-sdr.com/v4/)

FYI, I was able to get the rtl_433 add-on working with my V4 hardware locally by changing the base image from 3.18 to 3.19, which upgrades librtlsdr from 0.8.0 to 2.0.1. Happy to submit a PR, but I wasn't sure if you'd want the base image updated in both add-ons or just rtl_433, or if you'd prefer a narrower method of upgrading librtlsdr.

What addon are you reporting the bug for?

rtl_443

What is the addon version?

master

What type of MQTT Broker are you using?

Home Assistant Mosquitto MQTT Broker

I think it's fine to upgrade the base image, and to do it for the autodiscovery addon too. We'd have to upgrade alpine eventually anyways.

My actively maintained add-on already supports V4. I encourage you and @deviantintegral to continue development over there. For then we can truly work on a better add-on.

I have a better default rtl433_conf as well as editable discovery script built in!
