Hello everyone…
I life in a rural area and have my acurite outside thermometer in homeassistant via rtl433, works like a charm, but recently i got a second, but different model, so i had to take the detection exclusions away and now i receive this rogue efergy e2ct battery warning and i have no idea from where…my next neighbor is 200 yards at the closest and than some time nothing else and they are old red necks that def not check their power consumption…
how could i find out where this ct meter is…and could i even get data from it?
The only other thing i was thinking about…could my wall plug in killawatt send data? even though that it is not advertised to do so?
Thx for any input on this x file
You may need to set up a 433 sniffer to see what is flying around on the airwaves. A directional antenna may help, but moving your Efergy devices to a remote location far away temporarily (like leaving them with a friend in the city when you go to shop) or just removing their batteries may also be a way of seeing if they are responsible, or if a third party device is responsible. Process of elimination.
Is it the battery on your receiver that is low, rather than any transmitter?
Not sure what the Efergy communication protocol is off the top of my head, but does it have unique identifiers for each transmitter and your integration is respecting those to correctly shuffle data to the correct entities? You may need to reconfigure.
