No data from Bresser-6in1 weather station #192

Closed ATS65 closed 1 month ago

ATS65 commented 1 month ago

The problem

I used Johan’s excellent arcticle Adding a Bresser 5 in 1 sensor to Home Assistant 3 to integrate a Bresser 5in1 weather station. Acquired supported DVB-stick, installed rtl_433 and configured to listen to 868.3MHz and send data to local mosquitto-broker. According logs everything works fine until listening begins. Unfortunately that is also where logs terminate, nothing gets received at all.

What addon are you reporting the bug for?

rtl_443

What is the addon version?

23.11

What type of MQTT Broker are you using?

Home Assistant Mosquitto MQTT Broker

Additional information

Using same DVB-stick on Windows10 I have proven it works and is supported as well as weather station is sending data.

Hi ATS65,

I have the same SDR Hardware Stick and the same result as you.

markusm66 commented 1 month ago

Since I am using a usb extension cable the issue is gone. I have no Idee why, but now it works for me.

ATS65 commented 1 month ago

Tried the same and used USB extension cable. Unfortunately behavour keeps 100% same as it was :( No matter how far stick is positioned from ha-host. Tested with both add-ons: rtl_433 and rtl_433 (next)

deviantintegral commented 1 month ago

@ATS65 since you’re running on a thin client, I’m guessing you’re comfortable and familiar with using Docker directly? If so, can you try logging in with the terminal and running rtl_433 from https://github.com/hertzg/rtl_433_docker and see if it works? If it doesn’t, then we can completely rule out the addon itself.

ATS65 commented 1 month ago

Thx for the response! I appreciate the proposal to eliminate potential addon-problem. Unfortunately I do not really have experience in handling hass docker containers. I am using HA Core 2023.11.1, OS 12.1, Supervisor 2024.05.1 without virtualization.

Just installed Portainer-AddOn and tried to compose stack using:

version: "3"

services:
  rtl433:
    image: hertzg/rtl_433:latest
    mem_limit: 1024M
    mem_reservation: 128M
    cpus: 1.5
    devices:
      - "/dev/bus/usb/002/008"
    command:
      - "-Csi"
      - "-f868300000"
      - "-s1024000"
      - "-R172"
      - "-Fmqtt://192.168.69.69:1883,retain=1,devices=rtl_433/bresser51"
      - "-Fkv"
      - "-v"
    volumes:
      - /mnt/data/supervisor/homeassistant/rtl_433:/rtl_433

Seems something is not really correct as log contains of only 4 lines only (would expect to see at least frequency, sample rate, etc):

deviantintegral commented 1 month ago

The above is perfect - it shows something hanging. Can you remove all flags except -Fkv and -v? And then try -f…? You’ll want to let each run for an hour or so, or at least until you get a sense as to what data (if any) they pick up.

ATS65 commented 1 month ago

Was unfortunately not able to follow your above recommendation (did not find valid combination of params to start). What I actually tried instead was creating the following stack:

version: "3"

services:
  rtl433:
    image: hertzg/rtl_433:latest
    devices:
      - "/dev/bus/usb/002/008"
    command:
      - "-c/rtl_433/rtl_433.conf"
    volumes:
      - /mnt/data/supervisor/homeassistant/rtl_433:/rtl_433

defining config/rtl_433/rtl_433.conf with 

verbose       8
gain          0
frequency     868.30M
sample_rate   1024k
ppm_error     0
report_meta   time:tz
protocol      172 # Bresser Weather Center 6-in-1 (newer 5-in-1)
convert       si
output        mqtt://192.168.69.69:1883,retain=1,devices=rtl_433/bresser51
output        kv

Result of this run is (no more change no matter how long I let it run)

-> seems we have proven that behaviour is identical to addon

ATS65 commented 1 month ago

good news: have replaced USB-extension-cable. Since that time rtl_433-container peridically received data. Switched back to add-on and it is also working properly now :) Many thx to all of you!
