Copy of Sensor Data

[j.hoekstra]

In the manual I read this:

4.3 Port 5500: Copy of Sensor Data
On this port Meteohub provides an exact copy of the serial data that Meteohub receives
from the weather station WMR-928/968/918N and RFXCOM. Data of the other weather
stations is also provided but reduced by the data necessary to keep the data
communication running. By reading this port another Meteohub system or another weather
program can get virtually connected to the data stream from the weather station Meteohub
is connected to. The port just allows for one connection. The first weather station provides
data on port 5500, the second on port 5501 and so on.

As I'm using a RFXCom LAN-receiver already for my domotica and was wondering if I can just mirror the data via this option so that a meteohub can be put in between the receiver and my domotica?
Does meteohub pas it on unchanged and can it be received by a program like RFReceiver?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

RFReceiver will work, but keep in mind it's one way traffic. If you try to send a command using rfreceiver it will fail.

That's ok, I can still connect directly to that(it's LAN) I'm just interested in the receiver and proxy function so that I can still use it with my domotica solution.
Just checking: it doesn't matter if meteohub itself doesn't understand the signals? In this case Visonic, HE and KAKU?

[YJB]

Hmm, I can't tell you. All the signals that I'm using are recognized by meteohub. Although I do remember that I was able to see the FRPower signals before they were supported by MH. I don't have any modules to test with.

This is some sample output when connecting RFReceiver to MH (port 5500).

Hope this helps.

Just checking: it doesn't matter if meteohub itself doesn't understand the signals? In this case Visonic, HE and KAKU?

I believe that Meteohub passes through everything that it sees arrive on the port that is being copied, regardless of whether or not it (i.e. Meteohub) uses that type of data.

The main potential issue, already mentioned by YJB, is that the pass through is readonly.

If domotica only reads data that's fine.

If domotica needs to write data back through Meteohub to the source, that's not possible.

Hopefully this is not an issue.

YJB and skyewright: Thanks for your info, you made my decision a lot easier
I'm using domotiga and the rfxcom to connect Visonic, HE and KAKU sensors/switches to my domotiga system.
With meteohub I can connect the existing indoor and outdoor sensors to record and publish my local weather situation

For writing back I can use the second port of the RFXCom lan-reciever, so that shouldn't be any problem.

EDIT: I just checked with meteohub in a VMware image and it relays everything, also visonic. I know what I'm gonna get for christmas
