ESP32 with Aurel 868 MHz module for Bresser weather station

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

Hi to all, first post in this community :slight_smile:

I’ve successfully built and installed latest 0.9.12 on an esp32-olimex-gtw-ble-poe-iso and I’d like to try using an Aurel 868 MHz Transceiver to decode packets from a Bresser weather station.

Has anyone some experience with this module and OpenMqttGateway ?

Which RF decoder should I use ? RF, RF2, RTL_433 or Pilight ?
I’ve already verified that the ‘original’ RTL_433 works with an SDR dongle, can I be confident that the stripped down version used by OpenMqttGateway will work also ?

Thanks in advance for any pointers :slight_smile:

Hi @Gabri74,

while I cannot tell you anything about the Aurel 868 MHz Transceiver, using a CC1101 here and think it’s currently the only transceiver working with rtl_433_ESP, depending on what Bresser weather station you have it could be included in the rtl_433_ESP FSK test branch.

If you have either bresser_5in1.c, bresser_6in1.c or bresser_7in1.c you might have similar problems as I experience with my Fine Offset rebranded weather station, also being FSK_PULSE_PCM modulation, which doesn’t seem to decode properly yet.

If you have the bresser_3ch.c though, everything should be fine, and this OOK_PULSE_PWM modulation decoder is already included in the default rtl_433_ESP branch.

All the best and let us know how you get on.

So I’ve temporary used a docker image (GitHub - hertzg/rtl_433_docker: 📡+🐋=💘 rtl_433 multiarch docker images.) and re-tested it to be sure and it is a bresser-5in1 type wit FSK modulation:

Sorry to restart an old thread

I too have a Bresser 5-in-1 outdoor unit. So I can connect a CC1101 to a ESP32 and get all of the data from the outdoor to record to the ESP32 (and send to MQTT server) - correct ?

What software / code do I need to run on the ESP32 itself ?

Thanks in advance
