Send Oregon Temp sensor message

Hi,

It's my first message on this forum. First, I am sorry for my English, I hope you understand me.

So my problem, I have an Oregon wmr86 weather station with a sensor THGN800. Recently I have bought two new sensors THN132 but they are not compatible with the station. My idea is to use my rfxtrx433e as proxy. I want on each THN132 message received, send the equivalent message as THGN800 format.

With the RFX Manager, I receive the following message from my THGN800 : 0A5202214D01000C620369 and I try send the same message except for the sensor chanel : 0A5202214D02000C620369. To do that I created a binary file with this data and I use the "Raw transmit" tab of RFX Manager. But I have the response "Error, repeat value is not numeric: ".

Anybody know what it's mean ? or Anybody have a documentation about the "Raw transmit" tab ?

Bests

The message formats are incompatible, hence just changing channels won't solve your problem you will have to also change the message.

See for instance:
http://wmrx00.sourceforge.net/Arduino/O ... tocols.pdf
http://jeelabs.net/projects/cafe/wiki/D ... 2_protocol

for details and differences between the protocols.

Also, even though using a GUI tool might be a good start to check if it works, you'll likely want to check a tool that uses the RFX more directly unless you want to manually forward every temp update...

Thx for your answer,

Maybe I not explained clearly, but for testing I try to re-send the working sensor (THGN800) data with just the channel byte changed, so for now, I expect to have the two same data on the station.

When that will work, I will transform the other sensors message. And after that I will implement the solution with my raspberry and nodejs API : https://github.com/bigkevmcd/node-rfxcom.

I am grateful for documents, I will read that, maybe the solution is written there

Please contact RFXCOM support for information of the RAW transmit.

I contacted RFXCOM and it's impossible to send Oregon messages

Thanks for your answers

Seems you will be needing a variant of a HackRF or AirSpy :)
