rtl_433 VS ha-wyzesense

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.

You may be able to buy a Wyze usb bridge for v1 and use it to connect with the Wyze sense v2 sensors via the HACS Wyze Sense Component. The integration is no longer supported, but I'm using v2 sensors with the v1 hub.

Yes. There is a standard HA integration that can be used for controlling lights and cameras. If you want to use motion and contact sensors, you have to config a HACs integration (https://github.com/kevinvincent/ha-wyzesense).

Thanks, Ill look into Aqara. I run HA and keep everything local. If I got Wyze I would get the Sense kit and use this HACS component instead of relying on cloud or Wyze app

There is an outstanding patch to add the v2 support to the Home Assistant driver using the existing v1 USB Dongle: https://github.com/kevinvincent/ha-wyzesense/pull/211

Are you talking about this project? https://github.com/kevinvincent/ha-wyzesense

I'm using ha-wyzesense through HACS. Unfortunately the clock is ticking on these sensors and I'm trying to move away from them. Sometimes the sensors themselves freeze, other times it's the integration breaking since its just a reverse-engineered hack. And they are going to die permanently one day anyway...

The original one yes - https://github.com/kevinvincent/ha-wyzesense. There are a few others but I am using this one for the last year.
