if you have split out sensors into their own YAML file, yes.
Otherwise they would go into configuration.yaml

I made some slight modifications to your example and it worked!
When I initially got everything working the naming scheme was âcotech_376959_121_wsâ and so on. I renemed the device to âWeather Stationâ and it updated everything like: sensor.weather_station_ws
Iâve also included a conversion for rain from mm to inches

Congratulations!!! 
Now, for rainfall there are utility_meter items that can provide daily, weekly, monthly, and annual measurements. Here is what i have so far, but I havenât yet worked out the proper decimal placement for accurate measurements.

Warning tip for others:
I had to replace the batteries in my weather station tonight, after over a year of solid performance. When I did so, the ID value changed from 121 to 0, which changed the MQTT topic ârtl_433/17069798-rtl433/devices[/type][/model][/subtype][/channel][/id]â. I had to edit all of my MQTT sensors and reload YAML files to get the data coming in again.

Can you expand on this? I have a greenhouse I want to incorporate. I am new and have not done any integrations with a RTL-SDR Blog V3 R860 RTL2832U 1PPM TCXO SMA Software Defined Radio
GW2000A from froggit without a cloud directly with restFUL try it as my_weather.yaml
The Router ist located in my local network over WLAN with own IP xxx.xxx
but it is always sunny

Hi, I just bought Waldbeck Huygens 6 in 1. Itâs up and running, transmitting data to the base station. I got stuck connecting it via rtl_433.
According to the instruction, it transmits at 868MHz. Iâm running:
rtl_433 -f 868M -s 1024k
but Iâm not getting any reads. Any clue?
I tested the dongle by scanning 433MHz frequency and it reads eg my garage door remote, so I assume the dongle works, but why doesnât it read anything on 868MHz?
Hello @ghstudio would you mind sharing your yaml config for the WH-40? Iâm struggling to make sense of the data.
I started trying to deal with the raw data directly, but I decided to take the easy path using a GW100B. I use the ecowitt integration ⌠and I just display all values. The most difficult part is configuring the GW1100B. Once you have that setup correctly, the values are all sensor.gw1100b.whatever. My guess is that you are trying without the controller, like I did originally and I canât help because I abandon that approach.
