weather-sdr-decode

Decoders for wireless weather sensor data received with RTL SDR.

Prerequisites

  • rtl-sdr
  • Python 2.7, on slow machines PyPy is recommended
  • Wireless weather sensor

decode_elv_wde1.py

This program decodes weather data produces by wiresless sensors from ELV.

It should work with the following sensors:

  • Temperature sensor S 300 IA
  • Temperature/Hygro sensor S 300 TH und ASH 2200
  • Temperature/Hygro/Wind/Rain ("Kombi") sensor KS 200/300

I've tested it with:

  • Temperature/Hygro sensor S 300 TH
  • Kombi sensor KS 300-2 (Picture below)

Typical usage:

rtl_fm -M am -f 868.35M -s 30k | ./decode_elv_wde1.py -

Help:

./decode_elv_wde1.py -h

References

decode_mebus.py

This program decodes weather data produces by wiresless sensors from Mebus like this one:

Typical usage:

rtl_fm -M am -f 433.84M -s 30k | ./decode_mebus.py -

Help:

./decode_mebus.py -h

References

  • RTL SDR
  • The weather sensors are manufactured by Albert Mebus GmbH, Haan, Germany

Performance

To decode in real time on machines with a slower CPU like the Raspberry Pi, the usage of PyPy as Python interpreter is recommended. The script decode_elv_wde1.py runs four times faster with PyPy. To set it as standard interpreter, change the first line of the script into

#!/usr/bin/env pypy
