Repository: Dasher; RTL433 to MQTT Bridge; Ink printer ink reporting

Nice!
Thanks for updating with your success…

Thanks for your great job! :+1:

To share my setup: i had a RTL-capable usb tuner (https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B013Q94CT6) and got from AliExpress a cheap 433MHz temperature and humidity sensor.

32

The configuration was quick and easy

{
  "mqtt_host": "192.168.2.33",
  "mqtt_user": "homeassistant",
  "mqtt_password": "xxxxxxxx",
  "mqtt_topic": "homeassistant/sensor/temperature",
  "protocol": 3
}

This is the received payload (got from mqtt-spy):

{"time" : "2017-11-05 15:24:28", "model" : "Prologue sensor", "id" : 5, 
"rid" : 198, "channel" : 1, "battery" : "OK", "button" : 0, 
"temperature_C" : 21.500, "humidity" : 62}

This is the sensor configuration:

  - platform: mqtt
    name: sensore_433_temperatura
    state_topic: "homeassistant/sensor/temperature"
    unit_of_measurement: "°C"
    value_template: '{{ value_json.temperature_C }}'
  - platform: mqtt
    name: sensore_433_umidita
    state_topic: "homeassistant/sensor/temperature"
    unit_of_measurement: "%"
    value_template: '{{ value_json.humidity }}'

The final result:

53

Glad it’s working for you! Thanks for the feedback

Dasher isn’t auto starting despite being told to do so.

I have it configured properly and it starts/works fine when I hit start. Just not auto starting for some reason.

Hello folks,

I was reading this topic and also several other around the internet and I must say, I’m confuse.

I have a RPI with HASSIO and now I would like to integrate some RF modules (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-1-5PCS-315-433-Mhz-RF-Transmitter-Receiver-Wireless-Module-Arduino-ARMMCU/272472455163?hash=item3f709fb7fb:m:m7aadyB7z1lfOEfQW2zc6DA) to work with my shutter motor.

My problem is, how do I know that modules are visible into the HASSIO?
How do I scan the codes in use?

OK, I’m going just start with these questions :).

Thank you in advance!

BR,
jponte

Hi there @jponte, I made a simple addon that scan the codes using those cheap receivers and writes them in a MQTT sensor:

Thank you for your reply… probably is a silly question, but how do I install your addon? I’m trying via browser adding the link to your addon and then I’m saving that link (https://home-assistant.io/hassio/installing_third_party_addons/), but then nothing appears to me :frowning:

@jponte, you have just to add this URL:

https://github.com/pantomax/hassio-addons

in the hassio add-ons, save and then you should see a new list of addons

Thanks. It’s installed.

Do I need something special to send the signals to my RF devices?

I have this:

switch

  • platform: rpi_rf
    gpio: 17
    switches:
    estores_sala_baixo:
    pulselength: 711
    protocol: 5
    code_on: 8388608
    code_off: 133742

But I think I shouldn’t use a switch, because I just want to send the signal I don’t need to have the button ON.

You could use a script or a scene if you want only 1 button

Installation/Build of Dasher killed my hass docker instance… Had to restart it via console but after that dasher was installed to hass! Created my config via SSH and launched docker, works great. Thanks Amazon for the free Buttons!

Glad you got it working OK.
Thanks for the feedback.

RTL is only a receiver since it uses hardware that was originally designed to receive TV signals.
It can listen for 433mhz sensors but there is no capability to transmit.
You need to look for another solution if you need to control 433 devices.

Hi,

i am not able to install it, if I press install dasher, nothing happens, thats not true, it looks like its trying to install but then no luck.

Its clean current hassio install on a ubuntu server 16.04 instance.
All other add ons (appdeamon, samba, Mosquitto broker, Check Home Assistant configuration and Homebridge) are working fine.

Any ideas ?

Weird. Whats in the hassio logs? (from hassio advanced menu)

Hi,

this is what I get:

I am using a generic ubuntuserver as you can see here:

17-12-14 22:12:33 INFO (MainThread) [hassio.host_control] Receive from HostControl: { "type": "generic", "version": "0.3", "last_version": "0.3", "hostname": "vmubunutuserver01", "features": ["shutdown", "reboot", "update"], "os": "GNU/Linux" }.

Thanks - I’ll take a look.
I too am using ubuntu based hass deployment on x86, so I should be able to reproduce the issue.

Cool,

i am awaiting your result, I was able to reproduce it, clean system, first install was dasher, I get the same error, while afterwards the others worked fine

Hi. Apologies for the delay - end of year crazyness.

I just removed and re-added the addon with no issues:

17-12-23 16:48:17 INFO (MainThread) [hassio.addons.addon] Create Home-Assistant addon data folder /data/addons/data/f3248fb7_dasher

17-12-23 16:49:16 INFO (SyncWorker_3) [hassio.dock.addon] Build f3248fb7/amd64-addon-dasher:0.2 done

This is on

  • HA version 0.59.2
  • Supervisor version 0.76

Sorry I can’r reproduce the issue…

Hi, and thanks making this.
I have it working in principle, but have on tiny problem. I had checked in https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433 and found out that it is supporting Nexa (93). Problem is that the hassio repository seems to be behind and does not include the Nexa protocol.

How can I get the protocol updates into hassio?

Thanks,
/Erik
