RFXCOM and data from units that I do not own..

Post by **Noel** » Sat May 03, 2008 2:09 pm

I'm receiving a lot of other 'data' from units that I do not own.

One of the interesting things is from some weather station(s).

Anyone here who can explain to me how I can use / log this data to a MySQL or so?

I'm also using the RFXCOM receiver in combination of HomeSeer. Maybe some plugin for HomeSeer can do this?

Thank you

The RFXCOM plugin is able to configure that device. The script RFXCOM2.vb delivered with the plugin samples the data in a database and the RFXWeather.aspx web page (also delivered with the plugin) can chart the recorded data.

Hi,

You can checkout my Toilet flush script. It is triggered by an event that writes some data to an MS Access database. The data written is 'fixed' but by modifying the script you should be able to write the device status or value.
http://www.domoticaforum.eu/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=857

Looking at the logging above either the device status or value contains the following data:
direction 117 ESE speed 2.4 m/sec 2 Bft av. speed 2.6 m/sec 2 Bft battery 100% full

In that case you might have to write some code that splits this string :
direction: 117 ESE
speed: 2.4
BF: 2
avspeed: 2.6
avBF: 2
Battery: 100

Then you can write these values in the appropriate fields.
First try to write the whole string into one field. If that works out, then start splitting it.

What (Oregon?) device are you using to do this?

Thanks!
bye
DJ

Hi DJF3-2,

I'll have a look at your script later today.
As I'm using MySQL, I will probably need to recode the script (should be no problem for me)

I do not know. I live in an area where I receive a lot of 'strange' data from other people.
One of the things that I receive is the one shown in my 1st post.

Haha.. That's pretty cool.. You get the data but don't have to pay for it. Have to admit that I'm also getting the outside temp/humidity that's not 'mine'

For fun I've moved the antenna from my receiver outside, and look what just poped up in my logfile: BWR102 Body Weight Monitor
Again I've got no clue who's this is, but aftere receiving some more data I will know "it's" weight

[:D] BWR102 is only sending when somebody steps on the scale, so you should have got the weight.

Would be nice if it could receive the weight data from the Wii Fit board as well.

I can see the weight of my neigbours sometimes. My neighbour was quite surprised when I asked him who in his household weights exactly 65.2 kilograms

max weight of the BWR102 is 150kg. Because the BWR102 has no checksum it can happen that a wrong data packet is decoded as a BWR102 which is certainly the case here.

Talking about 'devices that you don't own':
Since a few days both jruys and myself suddenly receive a signal from a WEIGHT1[0]W device.

The device-value/string doesn't seem to get updated

Is this a bug or does Aldi happen to sell BWR102 compatible devices and now everybody is getting one?

Thanks!
DJ

The oregon scales don't have a checksum and non valid noise packets can therefore be reported as a WEIGHT1 or WEIGHT2. Just ignore these packets.
