Rtl_433: HIDEKI Rain & Wind sensors

[10der]

Hi!
rain sensor always show me 202.3 mm

2018-12-01 19:15:23 :   HIDEKI Rain sensor
        Rolling Code:    0
        Channel:         4
        Battery:         OK
        Rain:    202.3 mm

Wind sensor show me strange values

/raw/rtl_433 : msg.payload : Object
object
time: "2018-12-02 03:36:36"
model: "HIDEKI Wind sensor"
rc: 0
channel: 4
battery: "LOW"
temperature_C: -110.5
windstrength: 1.77
winddirection: 135

(IMHO misarrange)

Thank you!

Perhaps your sensor is not the HIDEKI type expected by the decoder?
Please provide the brand and model name of your sensor. Grab some samples (-a -t) and upload them, if possible with the values you expect (channel and approx. temp., others if you can read those from a head unit maybe). Also perhaps post the output (timings) of -A here.

I am sorry, but here is proof what this device was working properly.
pls scroll down to the last message.

PS: two another "home" sensors decoded OK

The timings look like the Hideki protocol, but the data doesn't seem to fit. Can you run rtl_433 -a -t and upload a sample file here?

[10der]

sorry. is not clear for me. what?
now device runed with
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ /home/pi/temp/rtl_433-master/build/src/rtl_433 -a -t -A
params is it ok?

[10der]

Hmm. from help

rtl_433 -a -t | Will run in analyze mode and save a test file per detected signal (g###_###M_###k.cu8). Format is uint8, 2 channels.

but no .cu8 files here. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[10der]

btw, the rain sensor still sends me. Rain: 205.1 mm
maybe it's "accumulated" value from the day when the sensor was stared? but look like crazy

[zuckschwerdt]

Run only rtl_433 -a -t
It will output

*** Saving signal to file g001_433.92M_250k.cu8

[10der]

so. what I did wrong?

[10der]

no

msg

[zuckschwerdt]

Oh, I get it now. The signal is too weak for -a. Use rtl_433 -l 3000 -a -t
(I need to upgrade that -a -t thing someday soon :) )
If 3000 does not work try 2800 or 2500 or so.

[10der]

got it. on it!
Thank you!

[10der]

yay!

Your pwd shows /home/pi. It should be there ;)

[10der]

yep, Sir!

Great samples! I'll work through this tomorrow.

[10der]

thank you so much!

[zuckschwerdt]

(Use http://triq.net/iqs if you like to "see" the samples, looks very clear.)

[10der]

wow!

[10der]

but some notice here.
1) I have 5 sensors
2) 2 sensors at home and not reachable here
3) 2 sensors outdors and very interesting for me
4) 1 sensor you can ignore - it VERY ok!

 HIDEKI TS04 sensor
        Rolling Code:    10
        Channel:         1
        Battery:         OK
        Temperature:     -2.3 C
        Humidity:        86 %

5) HIDEKI Rain sensor and HIDEKI Rain sensor what I trying to solve...

[10der]

and last. wind sensor now is not acessable by two reasons.
1) no wind just now, at all :')
2) is too far from rpi and antenna

[zuckschwerdt]

The rain value is accumulated. The reading is correct. (0x125 = 203 ; 203 * 0.7 = 205.1)
I have added CRC checksum to the sensor now.

[odenisenko]

cool.
if not clear what is 203 but Ok.

[zuckschwerdt]

see also #891 -- the values and keys for wind and rain will change soon!

[zuckschwerdt]

203 is the raw data from the sensor. Each 1 from the sensor is 0.7mm rain.

[odenisenko]

thank you co much!

Hi,
Im using this rain sensor but I wonder if it can be something I can do to calibrate, the sensor shows that it have rained over 45 cm today. I use it with Weewx and are checking the "raw" values from sensor via rtl_433, it has increased from 841,1 mm to over 880.....
