It is possible to get the exact decode values from the Transmissions? Than it is easier to reconstruct the protocol

[incmve]

Do you mean the values from this?

sudo pimatic-app/node_modules/pimatic-homeduino/node_modules/homeduino/bin/vhduino
RF receive 0

When I'm home I will pull some data, got the same device.

[Fritz4all]

I have 2 RPi's both of them with RF receiver no filter no arduino.

Ran the following on both Pi's simultaneously :

sudo pimatic-app/node_modules/pimatic-homeduino/node_modules/homeduino/bin/vhduino
RF receive 0

This is the output :

Temperature sensor, Humidity sensor, Wind speed sensor, Wind direction sensor :

The recordings are useful, but it would be better to have the corresponding values (temperature, humidity, ...) too.

Ok your multisensor for wind, temp usw transmitted the data in min two different telegrams. It used two different id's Footer-Id 1-----------Data------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Header -01-010102020102-0102020202020101010202010102020202010201020201010201020201-03 Footer-Id 2-----------Data------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Header -01-020201010202-0101010101010201010102020201010101020101020202020102020101-03 (Footer is possible but it can bee part of the id too) I think the sensor sends in one telegram humidity and temperature and in the other telegram the windspeed and direction. The Heat Index and wind chill is calculated by the station. But i am not sure.

What makes the Network Forecast Unit? Collectdata from the inet and send it to the station?

I will re-capture the the data this weekend or at the workplace tomorrow

To set it up i need to connect it to my router and configure it with an application you need to install, BUT the application can't find the unit because it always has a MAC address : 00000000000000 most routers can't handle only zero MAC addresses. Tested it @ the workplace with a MS DHCP server then it works, receives an ip, and after setting up the location collects data from inet and sends it over 433 to the base station (monitor)

[incmve]

Here you go :) Rainmeter data with display: http://pastebin.com/FUFCpSRn

Windmeter data with display: http://pastebin.com/47uEZPV5

the windmeter seemd to send data every 3 minutes and the rainmeter every 2 minutes

hope thats enough info

[Icesory]

This looks good. I would start decode this later

[Icesory]

I have now spend some time on the protocol but at the moment I don't figure out how it is encoded. On @incmve data it's looks like only one Id for the airspeed multi sensor.

[incmve]

Is this helpfull? http://www.tfd.hu/tfdhu/files/wsprotocol/auriol_protocol_v20.pdf

For what I can find it only uses one ID per unit, but the ID changes when you replace the batteries. Here is a protocol from someone else: http://www.nodo-domotica.nl/Download/Stable/Plugins/Plugin_008.c and the description of their plugin: http://www.nodo-domotica.nl/index.php/Plugin_008

and a topic on pilight http://forum.pilight.org/Thread-Alecto-WS4500-WS3500

hope this helps?

[Icesory]

@incmve the PDF was perfect. Now it is easy. I would be ready through the weekend. But for the wind stuff we need a new device.

[incmve]

Cool thanks for your work! :+1:

[Icesory]

Hey ho. I found some time today an i had make a initial release of the weather5 protocol. https://github.com/Icesory/rfcontroljs/commit/dfdaaf8b5feb70befbbaf42e2c1906a3fec8a585 Temperatur and Humidity should working with a normal Temperatur Device But it is in development and need some tests more. Your collected data are most temp/hum data. I found no wind data. Can someone install the files from my rep and look at the debug data from pimatic? These files are needed to update. /lib/helper.js /lib/controller.js /lib/protocols/weather5.js

They must stored in this path /home/username/pimatic-app/node_modules/pimatic-homeduino/node_modules/homeduino/node_modules/rfcontroljs/lib/

[incmve]

Thanks @Icesory I will test it tonight.

The temperature I will fix today. But for the wind data we need help from the master sweetpi. It is really strange that the arduino don't receive the wind telegrams.

[Icesory]

I have update the helper.js and the weather5.js so it should decode negative temperatures correct.

[sweetpi]

The temperature I will fix today. But for the wind data we need help from the master sweetpi. It is really strange that the arduino don't receive the wind telegrams.

The problem could be that the wind data is only repeated 3 times (if I read the pdf correctly) and so maybe rfcontrol fails here. I would need a raw timing sequence of the burst (for example captured with pilight-debug).

[Icesory]

it sends the two wind data packets alternately. "These two packets are sent in pairs repeated three times within a transmission burst" http://www.tfd.hu/tfdhu/files/wsprotocol/auriol_protocol_v20.pdf [site 7]

It sends 1 of 6 packets this temp-temp-temp-temp-temp-temp And all the other 5 packets are wind1-wind2-wind1-wind2-wind1-wind2 is this the reason why RFControl dont accept the data?

[sweetpi]

And it only captures the first of the pair or no at all?

[Icesory]

I have searched all postet timigs and there are no wind informations. Its all temp

[sweetpi]

That's bad. I think I know what happens then. It records the first package of the pair and tries to verify it with the second. This of-cause fails because the second package of the pair is different...

[Icesory]

Yes i just have seen it in https://github.com/pimatic/RFControl/blob/master/RFControl.cpp state Verify

[incmve]

Can I change the verify to test it?

[Icesory]

i am working on it.

[incmve]

Let me know if I can do something, got a test pi with arduino ready. I'm no programmer so be gentle :p

[Icesory]

I working on a new verification function on the arduino. But @sweetpi is a genius and it is hard to understand the code complete. I have grabt some raw data from the pilight thread and put it into a C# programm. So i can debug all values, states and so on. But the problem is we have on the Atmega328 only 2kByte of Ram. And the Datastorrage at the moment used about 512Byte. In the worst case we must move the verification from the arduino to the pi. But this should be not the solution.

[leader21]

searching for some special christmas present (for me of course ;). always wanted to have a multi purpose weather station. so my question, is this protocol only for the WS4500 or could there maybe other alecto WS and clones of these stations be received with? maybe the Alecto WS-5000 or WH3080, WH4050, WH1080 and much other versions where the outdoor hardware all looks similar. has anyone already tested or has a clue on this?

[Fritz4all]

The Alecto WS-5000 doesn't send on 433 Mhrz but 868 Mhrz so this won't work for now, but it all depends on the raw codes the device sends and the great work people like sweetpi and Icesory do with the raw codes.

[leader21]

sure, i appreciate all the good work done here on this great project! sorry, haven't seen that the ws5000 has 868 mhz. but wh3080 has 433 mhz for example. well, guess i'll have to get the ws4500 then to be sure that it's working with pimatic :)

[incmve]

imo the network "sensor" and display are useless and the price of separate units is half of the whole package.

the weather5 protocol should seperate the data. If it received rain data it should not emit temperature data. can you pls poste some debug datan from the rain sensor. So i can try to fix it.

I restarted everything and it seems to be working agan only rain info isn't updated in the GUI.

[Icesory]

You are right. Dam copy and paste coding. https://github.com/pimatic/pimatic-homeduino/blob/development/homeduino.coffee#L633 is wrong. @_rain = event.values.rain

[incmve]

lol no problem

[Icesory]

I have developed a new verification algorithm for the Homeduino.
I don't have the alecto weather station so it can't test it. Would some one test it? You must only replace the RFControl lib an re-upload the Homeduino to the arduino. https://github.com/Icesory/RFControl/tree/development

I think you on to something here :)

Look good so far nice work @Icesory :+1: Only winddirection is displayed in degrees is that easy to fix to actual direction?

0 (N), 45 (NE), 90 (E), 135 (SE), 180 (S), 225 (SW), 270 (W), 315 (NW) displaying temp, humidity, direction, gust, avg

[Icesory]

Nice to see that it works. With the displayed direction i/w need help from @sweetpi

[Icesory]

@incmve with or without the degree "°" Symbol?
