rtl_433 VS SDRPlusPlus

And there's a multiformat receiver block too: https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433

pi@pi4b8:/etc/systemd/system $ cat rtl_433.service # based on https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433/issues/1651 [Unit] Description=RTL_433 service script StartLimitIntervalSec=5 Documentation=https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433/README.md After=syslog.target network.target [Service] Type=exec ExecStart=/usr/bin/rtl_433 -C si -F mqtt # Restart script if stopped Restart=always # Wait 30s before restart RestartSec=30s # Tag things in the log # View with: sudo journalctl -f -u rtl_433 -o cat SyslogIdentifier=rtl_433 StandardOutput=syslog StandardError=syslog [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

For example, rtl_433 has the spec for an X10 sensor say I know what data I want to put where, is there some tool/site I could enter in what the "specifications" of the signal waveform are and the data I want to send as a byte-string or binary-string and it would create a playable .sub file for me?

For "outdoor distances" I'd probably stick to something LoRa or 433MHz based. YoLink has quite a few options using the LoRa protocol. I use basic 433Mhz based AcuRite sensors paired with an RTL-SDR dongle connected to a machine running RTL_433, and use Home Assistant to trigger automations and alerts.

866-868MHz is SRD/ISM band (in UK/EU). Can be things like energy meters, TPMS, medical devices etc. Try rtl_433 on it.

I'm trying to add a Honeywell doorbell to Home Assistant by using the RTL-433 GitHub project/program. When I run the program the SDR dongle is detected but it doesn't display anything when I press the doorbell (the image shows what I see after running the program and pressing the doorbell). I have also tried Honeywell Activelink (FSK) aka [116], so I have tried both 115 and 116 decode protocols.

I'm using newest SDR++ nightly built. win x64. Anyone can resolve this problem? Mabye I'm not using the right driver for SDR++? If so where can I find the right one?

SDR++ from GitHub (https://github.com/AlexandreRouma/SDRPlusPlus) runs on M1

Ah, I see what you mean, it's been a while since I looked at their repo. They don't seem to have one for ubuntu jammy yet in their stable release branch. But they do have an ubuntu jammy one in their nightly builds https://github.com/AlexandreRouma/SDRPlusPlus/releases/tag/nightly. I did give it a go and it seems to work okay, but obviously you would need to try it more thoroughly than I have.

What incompatibility? Do you think that this code https://github.com/AlexandreRouma/SDRPlusPlus doesn't support ARM?

SDR++

Some software tips. There is a newer version of SDR++ that includes an IF filter for NOAA APT signals that should help improve things: https://github.com/AlexandreRouma/SDRPlusPlus/releases/tag/nightly That gives you a new checkbox under the Radio section called "IF Noise Reduction" with a dropdown to select the type of reduction (where you select 'NOAA APT'). You can also use the "Decimation" option in the Source section to give a bit better SNR. From what I've read you get a 3db reduction in noise every time you double the decimation level. If you can't get rid of the noise around 137.1MHz maybe try going for NOAA 15 or 18 since those are at higher frequencies, hopefully away from that noise.
