I have attached my 80002 receiver to a working NSLU2 and a notebook USB (running) and I see not led lihgting up. I have no sensors attached (OS) as of yet. Will the greenled on the back light up when it receives a signal?
I find the CD of RFXCOM a mess. 50 files where somewhere a manual may be hiding??? That coud have been made much better!
How do you know it works??

It should be pure plug an play with meteohub. don't forget to switch the weather station settings in meteohub to rfxcom.
What does the "meteohub log" file say?

Re:How do you know it works??
So weit bin ich noch nicht. Ich hab nur der NSLU2 geflashed (von 256 Mb USB stick nach 2 Gb, dauerte 30 minuten). Also: meteohub software habe ich noch nicht (komplett) installiert. Ist es notwendig um OS sensoren zu haben um RFXCOM zu testen, oder kann mann RFXCOM schon in dem dateien (software) von Meteohub sehen?
Danke!

On my earlier model the green led flashes to indicate a sensor signal received.
As Admin says, it's just plug and play.
If you find and install (to a Windows PC) the RFReceiver software on the CD you can either:
a) Observe data coming from the the device by watching on port 5557 on the IP of your Meteohub. I've done that on a number of occasions when I've wanted to check out details - it was for example how we discovered that I was receiving data from another distinct set of sensors (i.e. my distant neighbour's).
or
b) If you connect the RFXCOM direct to a serial port on the PC you can talk to the device as well as listen - e.g. you can ask it for version data (I can't recall the details but I'm pretty sure I recall doing that).
