Hi,

I tested the sensor with pilight before, it worked using the following protocol: http://wiki.pilight.org/doku.php/tfa_v6_0 (The photo in the pilight wiki is showing exactly my sensor model).

Here is what i get from pimatic-homeduino debug log when i press the "TX" button on the sensor:

I wanted to switch over to pimatic using my existing sensors. Maybe there is a possibility to implement this sensor?

[sysdev41]

@Icesory: i think the sensor data cannot be decoded and it is not an issue regarding the configuration file? If that is the case, is the above information sufficient to implement the protocol?

[Icesory]

Will take a close look at the weekend to this.

[sysdev41]

That's cool - if you need any more information/debug, just post it and i will try to figure it out ...

[xCite1986]

since sweetpi changed the pulsecount from 88 to 86 and modify the pulses in weather3.js it got the same errors with this type of sensor

http://www.conrad.at/ce/de/product/672868/ErsatzZusatzsensor-S014?ref=list

i've manuall create a weather31.js with old setup and it works.

https://github.com/pimatic/rfcontroljs/commit/51f8b9317067f78d0b106bcb056415b5972a8117

[sweetpi]

@xCite1986 Did you try to update homeduino on your arduino?

[sysdev41]

What should i do now? I am using pimatic-homeduino on a raspberry with the recommended bandpass filter: https://github.com/pilight/pilight_firmware

[xCite1986]

pimatic-homeduino was on 0.8.47, pimatic says i'm up to date with my plugins...

[Icesory]

Sweetpi means the script on the Arduino. Is this up to date? Or do you use the GPIO driver?

[xCite1986]

oh okay :)

this was my weather3.js, i think its the newest...

module.exports = function(helper) {
  var protocolInfo, pulsesToBinaryMapping;
  pulsesToBinaryMapping = {
    '01': '0',
    '02': '1',
    '03': ''
  };
  return protocolInfo = {
    name: 'weather3',
    type: 'weather',
    values: {
      id: {
        type: "number"
      },
      channel: {
        type: "number"
      },
      temperature: {
        type: "number"
      },
      humidity: {
        type: "number"
      }
    },
    brands: ["tfa", "conrad"],
    pulseLengths: [508, 2012, 3908, 7726],
    pulseCount: 86,
    decodePulses: function(pulses) {
      var binary, h0, h1, humidity, result, t0, t1, t2, temperature;
      binary = helper.map(pulses, pulsesToBinaryMapping);
      t0 = helper.binaryToNumber(binary, 22, 25);
      t1 = helper.binaryToNumber(binary, 18, 21);
      t2 = helper.binaryToNumber(binary, 14, 17);
      temperature = Math.round(((t0 * 256 + t1 * 16 + t2) * 10 - 12200) / 18) / 10;
      h0 = helper.binaryToNumber(binary, 30, 33);
      h1 = helper.binaryToNumber(binary, 26, 29);
      humidity = h0 * 16 + h1;
      return result = {
        id: helper.binaryToNumber(binary, 2, 9),
        channel: helper.binaryToNumber(binary, 12, 13) + 1,
        temperature: temperature,
        humidity: humidity
      };
    }
  };
};

and this my edited weather31.js wich will work with my sensor

module.exports = function(helper) {
  var protocolInfo, pulsesToBinaryMapping;
  pulsesToBinaryMapping = {
    '01': '0',
    '02': '1',
    '03': ''
  };
  return protocolInfo = {
    name: 'weather31',
    type: 'weather',
    values: {
      id: {
        type: "number"
      },
      channel: {
        type: "number"
      },
      temperature: {
        type: "number"
      },
      humidity: {
        type: "number"
      }
    },
    brands: ["tfa", "conrad"],
    pulseLengths: [508, 2012, 3908, 7726],
    pulseCount: 88,
    decodePulses: function(pulses) {
      var binary, h0, h1, humidity, result, t0, t1, t2, temperature;
      binary = helper.map(pulses, pulsesToBinaryMapping);
      t0 = helper.binaryToNumber(binary, 22, 25);
      t1 = helper.binaryToNumber(binary, 18, 21);
      t2 = helper.binaryToNumber(binary, 14, 17);
      temperature = Math.round(((t0 * 256 + t1 * 16 + t2) * 10 - 12200) / 18) / 10;
      h0 = helper.binaryToNumber(binary, 30, 33);
      h1 = helper.binaryToNumber(binary, 26, 29);
      humidity = h0 * 16 + h1;
      return result = {
        id: helper.binaryToNumber(binary, 2, 9),
        channel: helper.binaryToNumber(binary, 12, 13) + 1,
        temperature: temperature,
        humidity: humidity
      };
    }
  };
};

result with weather31.js.

[Icesory]

@sweetpi this is really strange. Why are the Arduino and the GPIO receivers are different? Have you forgot to copy the new RFControl to the vhduino? This is also affected by a difference bug http://forum.pimatic.org/topic/59/auriol-temperature-sensor-type-ian-91838-not-detected/3 The double should be filtered by the RFControl library. Normally.

[sweetpi]

@Icesory You're right, vhduino uses the old buggy version (https://github.com/pimatic/virtualhomeduino). I will update the binary.

[sysdev41]

Do i still have to use the modified weather31.js file @xCite1986 has posted, or is it sufficient to wait for the updated RFControl binary/library in virtualhomeduino?

[xCite1986]

you could still modify the file with nano byself, but if your pimatic-homeduino gets an update, you will fall back to original weather3.js

edit with ...

sudo nano pimatic-app/node_modules/pimatic-homeduino/node_modules/homeduino/node_modules/rfcontroljs/lib/protocols/weather3.js

pulseCount: 86

to

pulseCount: 88

... would work temporary

[Icesory]

With the next update this problem should be fixed. We have changed the verification system in RFControl massive. But this update isn't in the gpio driver at the moment. Every user how used the gpio instead a Arduino used the old version. The problem is that we have a weather sensor that is only receivable by the old gpio system. Now we must look why and then we can create a bug fix.

[sysdev41]

Thanks a lot, it is working with the "quick fix" :-) ! @Icesory do you know when this update will take place (i mean days/weeks/months)? Do i have to apply the "quick fix" each time, i get pimatic updates, or just when updates arrive for pimatic-homeduino plugin?

[Icesory]

You have to fix this only by an update of pimatic-homeduino. I think this should be fixed in the next two weeks.

[Icesory]

How is the actual state here? vhduino(the GPIO driver) was fixed with the last homeduino update. Worked it now as expected?

[xCite1986]

hey @Icesory

yes, weather3 works now for me. Thanks for quickly fixing

[sysdev41]

Hi Icesory, thanks for the homeduino update. Just tested it, and it now works out of the box! Great!!

[Icesory]

All credits goes to @sweetpi. He is the master mind behind this.
