Hello
I have a RTL-433 USB which i’m using to collect data from my CM180 energy sensor.
This is a sample of the json output from RTL-433 (using rtl_433 -C si -M newmodel -F json) for testing:
{"time" : "2022-03-13 13:19:13", "brand" : "OS", "model" : "Oregon-CM180", "id" : 1104, "battery_ok" : 1, "power_W" : 2737, "sequence" : 2}

In the MQTT within Home Assistant, i’m receiving the following MQTT traffic:
{
"time": "2022-03-13 15:54:49",
"brand": "OS",
"model": "Oregon-CM180",
"id": 1104,
"battery_ok": 1,
"power_W": 676,
"sequence": 4
}
QoS: 0 - Retain: false
Message 6 received on rtl_433/Oregon-CM180/1104 at 15:54:
{
"time": "2022-03-13 15:54:37",
"brand": "OS",
"model": "Oregon-CM180",
"id": 1104,
"battery_ok": 1,
"power_W": 724,
"energy_kWh": 73.96283,
"sequence": 0
}
I’ve noticed that every 5th message has sequence ‘0’ and also includes the “energy_kWh” entry, which the other 4 messages do not.
Here is my sensor definitions from my yaml file:
- platform: mqtt
name: "house_power_now"
state_topic: "rtl_433/Oregon-CM180/1104/power_W"
value_template: "{{ value_json.power_W }}"
unit_of_measurement: 'W'
device_class: power
state_class: measurement
- platform: mqtt
name: "house_energy_lifetime"
state_topic: "rtl_433/Oregon-CM180/1104/energy_kWh"
unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
value_template: "{{ value_json.energy_kWh }}"
device_class: energy
state_class: measurement
However, i’m not seeing any data (just ‘unknown’ for either of these 2 sensors when I go to Dev Tools → States within HA ??
What’s the best way to solve this?
Ideally I want the “power_W” values from all 5 messages if possible, but if not then just the ‘power_W’ and ‘energy_kWh’ entries from each message with sequence = 0 would be acceptable instead, if there is logic i can use to ignore the other 4 and just process those ones maybe ?
Thanks all.
