Decoding and integrating more devices into OMG through Pilight

Theengs OpenMQTTGateway Radio frequencies gateways 315mhz, 433mhz, 868mhz

I’m opening this topic to discuss about the integration of more 433mhz devices to Pilight, by doing that we will increase the devices supported with OpenMQTTGateway by the means of @puuu library ESPilight (used by ZgatewayPilight).

@AhmadK for your info I have ordered the “PCB full” from this link:
https://www.pilight.org/shop/#pcbkits

It comes unsoldered. Ones solded you can install pilight and begin to play with pilight-debug to see what are the raw data received.

By analysing that and taking the examples from the others protocols we can try to integrate more devices.

That’s a brilliant idea.
I thought we could use the fact that RF module recognises many of 433MHz devices and somehow “translate” its data into Pilight format, but it’s just an idea…

it’s pricey, isn’t it? wonder what else apart from voltage regulator, filter and receiver does it include…

Anyway, I’m ready to help at least with unsupported devices I have in my possession (Sonoff PIR2, Sonoff Door sensor, some Chinese RF wall remotes)

Yes and not, yes if you consider the hardware parts, not if you consider all the work that has been done behind that, and that we are using both work:-)

Hi, just wondering what is the current status with Pilight and new protocol integrations, the official Pilight website and debug section seems pretty quiet…
https://forum.pilight.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=11

My OMG setup is running fine, however I have one or two 433Mhz devices that are currently unsupported and wondering what is the best approach ( if any) to try to integrate them into OMG/Pilight;

the first one is a simple but very useful BBQ sensor (Thermopro TP-20); it has two probes and sends temperature data every few seconds; would be nice to have it broadcast MQTT so I could have my HA announce my steak cooking progress (first world problems indeed…)
I can get raw data from the Sonoff/Portisch bridge. (see below)
Any way to use this type of data to help integrate in Pilight/OMG or useless?

it is also fully supported with RTL_433, so was wondering if I should get one of the RTL2832U dongles instead. Wanted your opinion before I add yet another 433Mhz receiver…

Thanks,

Hi,

The best approach is to wait :slight_smile: ,

I’m putting my hands on all the RF possibilities and things available and have some tracks to follow.
So I will give news about that in the following weeks.

Thanks, will keep an eye on the forums.
Cheers,

Hi, is there any update regarding this topic?

I’ve just bought an Auriol “weather station”, but the outside station is just a rain gauge with temperature. With pilight (over SonoffRFBridge) only the temperature is visible and I’m wondering how to fix that and have the rain measures as well.

Would it be possible to tell the espilight library to send raw data? (eg turn it on with some mqtt command)
