Rtl_433 installation

1

I have rtlsdr running on a Rpi 0w and mosquitto running under proxmox with Home assistant. All works nicely except the RPi 0W doesn’t seem to have enough speed to handle -H frequency skipping and sending to MQTT.

I would like to move everything under home assistant (under Proxmox). I am unable to get automated installs…I can’t add the directories. The instructions say “install the add on” which isn’t exactly helpful without telling you how to do it…of course it tells you to add through the addon store…but the directory fails so I can’t do it that way.

How do I add the rtl_433 addon’s? what files do I copy where…or how do I get them to show up under either HACS or the addon store?

2

I don’t do VMs, but I have 2 SDRs on my server, one running RTL_433 and the other running RTL_TCP, both as docker containers… works great, just tell each which device number to use… my HA install is a supervised docker container…

I’ve not run across options for freq skipping… could you explain how that is working?

hope that helps you…

Add the following options to wherever you have your option string:

-H 120 -f 433 -f 915

This will hop between 433mhz and 915 mhz every 120 seconds. the default for -H is 600 seconds but you can change it (eg 120).

I am not running my own docker…I just use the one started by Home Assistant…I have the MQTT add on installed, but I don’t know how to install rtl_433 itself under Home Assistan.

ah, thx… that helps my project a ton… I was wondering how to use one SDR to read 433 & the ISM band (902-926MHz) for utility meters…

RTL_433 doesn’t install directly into HA… or at least I’ve never run across that idea anywhere…

5

there is an add on …on github…

installation instruction says “install add on” … not exactly the most helpful instruction.

ok, in HA…

  1. goto settings
  2. goto add-ons
  3. click add-on store
  4. click 3 vertical dots in upper right corner
  5. click repositories
  6. add: https://github.com/pbkhrv/rtl_433-hass-addons
  7. click add
  8. close
  9. refresh page, new add-ons for RTL_433 at the bottom…

now it should work… let me know either way…

I would have sworn I did exactly that…but yes, it worked…thanks.

Next problem. I have a string of options I’d like to use when starting rtl-433:

-H 180 -f 433920000 -f 914915000 -R 11 -R 142 -R 71 -F “mqtt://192.168.1.177:1883,user=“xxx”,pass=“yyy”,retain=0,events=rtl_433”

If I enter them into a file, it doesn’t recognize -? commands…the addon seems to want words like output -F…

Is there a way to save the startup options???

(note: that string works…usiing frequency hopping etc).

UPDATE: I figured it out…I can’t use -H type commands, I have to use the full words.

10

I’m actually putting everything into the config file and using it that way…

sample config: https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433/blob/b668f40fd539644fd3a9c1a9884f2fb2a2bff0f6/conf/rtl_433.example.conf

once you create a config file, you have to specify where it is… in the addon configuration tab, give the path of the config file…

11

apparently, you can’t use the -F or -H format in the configuration files, you have to use the full words like Output and hop_interval.

12

were you able to get this working?
i was able to get the installation done and it Started.
in my config, i editted to fit my setup:

image997×300 17 KB

in the Add-On config, i got that file selected

image
image1046×331 7.51 KB

when i listen, i still get nothing

13

Yes, I’m running that addon…with a separate Mosquitto server (I run everything under proxmox). I read the Mqtt data in node-red

I’m traveling working from an iPad mini, so not easy to help you out. Likely your config file is wrong

14

Did you get your problem solved since I have the same issues

15

i could not solve. so i went back to Sonoff 433 wifi device

16

@tung256 . I just installed it and ran it without a conf file as I didn’t know where to put it. Put the RTL dongle in the back of RPI 3B+ running HA. I have mosqitto running on the HA and it all just started up and put messages through MQTT.

17

@Spiro How did you manage to get is working. Any more detailed instuctions?
Very confusing.

18

I did install and run successfully the RTL_433 on Windows 10 Virtual Machine running Ubuntu and get the results. So the SDR dongle works.

But MQTT etc is more confusing on Home Assistant ( I run the Home Assitant OS on Raspberry Pi)

I downloaded this rtl_433.conf file and didn’t know where to put it so just left it unaltered as it is above in the /config folder of HA. Don’t think it was used sitting here. HA is on RPI 3b+ supervised with MOSQUITTO running in HA ( I didn’t have to enter mqtt user name or password, ip address or port. Pressed start on the Rtl_433 addon. I had made no changes to the config

The rtl log seemed to show everything was running.

This new file showed up in /config/rtl_433 folder.
MQTT explorer
MQTT explorer started picking up devices. Anything I want to use I wrote an MQTT entry in configuration.yaml

thanks…
I did create the /config/rtl_433.conf file.

I did not get any such file.

However…the system seems working as I pressed refresh
I got some results.
