Oregon-THGR328N via RFXCOM not working with meteohub

wfpost · Post by **wfpost** » Thu May 07, 2009 11:37 am

Today I got three Oregon-THGR328N sensors, that I wanted to add to my RFXCOM device.

But none of the three are shown up with meteohubs sensor list. I tried all 5 channels to no success either ...

Anything I can do to get it to work?

Additional info:
Every 60s when the red LED on the Oregon sensor lits up showing the broadcast impulse simultaneously the green LED with the back of the RFXCOM lits up also.
From that, it seems connection and communication between the THGR328N sensors and RFXCOM is working well.

Cheers,

P.S: my already connected 3-ch sensors still working w/o any problems, but none of the new THGR328N.

I´ve now removed and re-added all weather stations, but still the Oregon-THGR328N sensors are not working or recognized :(

Have you tried using the RFXCOM tool called RFreceiver?

You can use that view the data coming into Meteohub via the "serial to ethernet bridge" pass through port 5500.

There is a switch in RFreceiver to either view the data raw, or with interpretation. That should let you see if the sensors are at least getting that far...

Thanks for your reply,

I tried that, and getting attached output.
There´s this entry showing up, but it doesn´t look like my Oregon sensors. Maybe something in reach of my RFXCOM? my own VP2 or something with a neighbour?

That's not at all like the output I see from OS sensors.

Attached is a small sample I grabbed about a year ago with a mixture of WMR200 and WMR928 sensors. That was with a USB RFXCOM, but I doubt that makes any difference.

So far as I'm aware the VP2 should not be relevant - it broadcasts with a different protocol. [file name=rfxcom_20080509.txt size=4269]http://www.meteohub.de/joomla/images/fb ... 080509.txt[/file]

Meteohub supports THGR328N. I have one that is recorded fine with RFXCOM

The system works on the actual Meteohub version, but all 4.2x versions should behave the same for this (I have not changed that part of the code).

I´ve connected RFXCOM with my PC´s USB Port.
The RFreceiver reading looking good now:

Connected back to Ebox-4300 RFreceiver prints out rubbish, and only the 3ch sensors are recognized with meteohub!

These are the bytes Meteohub reads for my thgr-328n sensor:

station 0 (RFXCOM), thermo hygro sensor, raw id: 0x9acc77, id: 6, temp 24.2°C, hum 39%, dew 9.4°C

The model id of your thgr328 seems to be 0xca2c while mine is 0x9acc (is that the difference of 328 vs 328n... I don't kow). I will add you sensor model id to Meteohub and send you a test version, if you drop me a note at "info(at)meteohub.de".

Hi,

try only one of them.

They are built to deliver a time-signal to their os-station (built-in rf-clock).

So 3 sensors sent a signal at the same moment...

Would be too much for good old rfxcom-unit

Now I know why the RFreceiver output wasn´t correct:
Yesterday the day1 min/max values for th0, sol and uv disappeared from the list of variables. Data re-processing didn´t help. The variables kept missing.

Then I removed all the weather station and re-added all of them and the missing values returned.

What I saw now, was this:
If RFXCOM is the first weather station then
RFreceiver prints out correct records for the connected sensors:

But in case the VP2 is assigned the first ID for weather stations then the RFReceiver ourput reads like this:

Could it be that the 1:1 copy feature on port 5500 is still considering an one station operating mode and does only transmit the USB-data from the 1st weather station to port 5500.

Then it would be pretty much clear that RFreceiver isn´t capable of reading the VP2 data?

In your setup where VP2 is station 0 and RFXCOM is station 1 data of VP2 will be reflected on port 5500 and RFXCOM data will be reflected on port 5501.

Or to say it more general, you will get data of weather station number X on port 5500 + X.

I see, thanks. That works perfect!

That might help you see what is going on.
