But the rest is silence. No RF messages are recorded whatsoever (they are there — my other receiver is receiving them). I’m not even sure the CC1101 is functional or wired correctly, it doesn’t make a difference whether it is connected or not.
Is it the dedicated 868MHz CC1101, as seen on the bottom left of the above wiring chart?
Since you’re using
'-DZgatewayRF="RF"'
'-DZgatewayRF2="RF2"'
which sensor are you trying to register and decode with the setup, when you say your other receiver is receiving the messages fine? Could it be that you might need a different gateway definition for it?
I was suspecting something like that. Since you use the rtl_433 tool successfully for your Bresser weather station you would also need the rtl_433 library with OpenMQTTGateway. Have a look at the
[env:esp32dev-rtl_433]
environment.
But unfortunately also be aware of the rtl_433_ESP library currently not supporting FSK_PULSE_PCM modulation in the default release, which your Bresser 5-in-1 has, yet. I have the same problem with my 868MHZ FSK_PULSE_PCM modulation weather station.
There is a test branch to try, but whenever I test it to try and get some valuable information which I could get to @NorthernMan54 I am totally swamped by 50+ other 868MHz devices in my surroundings which make it virtually impossible to distinguish their encrypted non-decodable messages from a possible weather station signal for examination.
How about setting the frequency to 433MHZ, just to see if some usually more ubiquitous (RF and RF2) 433MHz device are in your vicinity. Of which you might even have some yourself.
While from my experience the range of a 868 CC1101 set to 433MHZ CC1101, and vice versa, isn’t nearly as good as a proper 433MHZ CC11101 it should still work to pick up something.
There won’t be any MQTT messages with any raw data for undecoded devices, thankfully I find, as otherwise the MQTT broker would/could be flooded with such unwanted messages
The only way I have experience with is with plaformio which I personally use for all OMG custom builds and serial monitoring with a ESP32 or ESP8266 connected to my PC.
What did you use for your build?
Apparently others also know of other ways using prebuilt binaries and nodemcu flasher, as stated here
Yes, I also use platformio. So I can do “pio device monitor” and I get messages that correspond to the MQTT messages. I cannot type anything, it doesn’t respond to Ctrl+T.
and chose Monitor or Upload and Monitor you don’t see any output in the bottom TERMINAL window? Starting with something like
************* WELCOME TO OpenMQTTGateway **************
N: OpenMQTTGateway Version: 0.9.13
N: WiFi ok with manual config credentials
…
I would assume for just monitoring and seeing if something might be received, even if not decoded you should be fine with the default settings, but for finer detail try
'-DCORE_DEBUG_LEVEL=4'
Not sure about any RF specific debug setting at the moment.
Also which upload_port have you got defined? Possibly also a separate monitor_port with same port required for your setup?
