hi, not with the current version. Unfortunately, I dont have a LANed rfxcom to test with. Can you give me TCP/PI access to your LANed rfxcom receiver? Then I can test how to incorporate this into Meteohub. Please drop a note to \"info@meteohub.de\" with URL and port# - if you like.

From 10.000 feet it shouldn't be too much of a fuzz to implement support for this into meteohub... but sometimes \"the devil is in the details\" as we say in Germany. :-)

Lan receiver should now work in a very basic mode.

Connect to it with the socket connection feature on Meteohub's \"weather station\" page. Data reading should be fine, but you can only read from there. So you can't setup the receiver via Meteohub. You have to do this manually by the LAN receiver's web-Interface.

Hallo,
ich habe das richtig verstanden:
Man könnte den LAN Receiver direkt ins TCP/IP einspeisen und Meteohub könntet diese Daten emfangen und aufzeichnen?
Schema:

LAN Receiver - Router - Meteohub

Dann könnte man den 2. USB von NSLU2 für eine Festplatte als Netzlaufwerkplatte nutzen?

Hi,
wenn Dein Router einen 4-port Switch enthält, dann musst Du nur den Meteohub und den LAN Receiver von RFXCOM an die LAN-Ports des Routers anschließen.

Die freie USB-Schnittstelle des Meteohub kannst Du natürlich nutzen (man kann die allerdings auch sonst mit einem USB-Hub multiplizieren, wenn man das brauchen sollte), allerdings hat der Meteohub keine NAS-Funktionalität. Die habe ich ihm mit der OpenSLug Firmware ausgetrieben und die arme Kiste käme auch an die Leistungsgrenze, wenn er das auch noch alles parallel machen sollte.

Hsllo,
d.h. ich kann da keine USB Platte anschliessen, die mann dann im Netz sehen kann und auf sie zugreifen.

Jonn

PS: Wäre kein Muss, jedoch ich könnte den RFXCOM in einen anderem Raum als den im Haus aufbauen...

Korrekt, die sw ist so gebaut, dass du lediglich die Daten-Partition des USB-Sticks, auf dem Meteohub läuft, im LAN als Netzwerklaufwerk sehen kannst. Weitere an den Meteohub angeschlossenen USB-Platten hätten keine Funktion.

Ist ein Wetterserver, kein NAS ;)

omit the \"http\", it is is a tcp/ip socket connection, not a http protocol ;-)

Does \"192.168.1.9:10001\" do the trick?

If not, make sure that the lan receiver is configured correctly. Meteohub is not abble to do that.

I have tried this with a lan receiver that rfxcom has made available for me for test purposes via the internet. it worked.

-----------------------------------------------
error connect socket 127.0.0.1:5555 :Connection refused


Sensors cannot be displayed because data logging process has been halted.

The rfxcom receiver program works fine with this ip-adres.

IT WORKS NOW.

The prolem was that the rfxcom was connected to my homeseer program. So the rfxwlan receiver can only connect with one device

oops, that is a limitation you should inform rfxcom about. may be they can change this for the future. Try to contact Bert, he is usually very helpful: weijenberg (at) zonnet.nl
