Acurite 433 MHz sensor MQTT Integration

Hello all!

I just finished my first working version of an integration for 433 MHz based sensors. I am using one by Acurite, which provides temperature and humidity readings, broadcast over 433 MHz. These signals can be received by a USB SDR (software defined radio), and parsed via the excellent rtl_433 project.

I’ve assembled this as a Docker container. Right now it is just built for AMD64, as I’m running Home Assistant on an Intel NUC. You can find the project on my Github: https://github.com/jochocki/rtl2hass

This will add any sensors that are received to Home Assistant, via the MQTT Discovery integration. I also added support for devices, so they will show up in the integration panel and can be easily renamed as needed.

This project is open to other contributors, as I would love to setup multi-arch image builds for Docker, as well as a HassIO Add-on, but just lack the necessary skills and knowledge.

Please try it out if you can, and enjoy! This has been a fun project to work on.

Hi,

I have been trying to install your docker container on unraid (AMD Threadripper based) and have been unable to get it to start. When checking the logs, I get an “open usb error -4”. could not find much on this error after searching. Any help would be appreciated.
