Sonoff RF Bridge 433 + Digoo DG-R8H 433MHz

50

You see, it wasn’t that hard!

For the transceiver: can’t tell but general advise: whatever you pick make sure you will find strong support, maybe search forums starting from this one :slight_smile:
I’m using probably the most popular, well known and cheap RX470 Superheterodyne 433MHz, cost single $, frequently you can get in par with transmitter still far below 10$

update from developer of ESPiLight:
ESPiLight v0.17.0 is now released and should have working nexus support. The version will soon be available in the Arduino library manager.

Greate news… thanks a lot.
Now I just study the OMG on NodeMCU with some RF module cause the SonOff is not so sensible.
The R8H work only at about 6-8 Mt with a 10 cm Wall between :frowning:

Integrated into development branch

57

Agree with you! :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks a lot Florian,
I just downloaded the dev code and compile with “default_envs = esp32dev-pilight”
this time I used a just arrived STX882 module and use it with ESP32 (like marekorok tell me)

I still test it but now it’s work at 15 Mt with 2 wall between
It’s work great :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot all for all the work.

I may be wrong…

I got my Sonoff RF Bridge working with Digoo DG-R8H… Which is great!
It also get the door switch sensors information correctly…
But, it do not get the motion sensor information for ([433Mhz CT60 SONOFF PIR2 sensor]) which working fine with the original Sonoff RF Bridge flashed with Tasmota… Did I missed something in my setting?

My goal is to get the info from all my RF 433 device using only one Bridge…

Thanks,

If you want to extend range further look here: Sonoff RF Bridge extended range - #22 by 123qweasd

I have a number of PIR (Sonoff and Digoo) and I have to use two Sonoff RF bridges (Tasmota+Portisch / OMG+Pilight) in order to get all signals. Some are received by both, some on one or the other… Maybe I’ll just order a few extra units compatible with Pilight and get rid of the Portisch unit; meanwhile it provides some redundancy.

BTW, I haven’t upgraded to the latest Pilight yet, other than the R8H, any other protocols added?

Cheers,

I should get used to have a minimum of 2 Sonoff RF Bridges…
Tasmota / OMG + Pilight
BUT now, I am getting information from all my sensors :slight_smile: …

Thanks for the tip with antenna!
I found this little kit, for 2$ worth to try

Please help me with the steps you followed to have RF bridge with updated Pilight.
I tried the ones from here but I’m getting below error:

…OpenMQTTGateway-development/main/ZgatewayPilight.ino:36:24: fatal error: ESPiLight.h: No such file or directory

Thank you

Use the latest development branch.
Then follow the instructions from marekorok to compile the code… I used Visual Studio with PlatformIO, That worked fine for me!

is it possible to read data from dg-r8h on esp-32 too ?
Edit. it works :smiley:

Keep us posted on the results. there is a number of models available on aliexpress
would be interested to get feedback on performance.
Cheers

which ESP-32 are you using to receive RF? I don’t see any models listed on the boards database.

esp32-cam but have to change to receive on gpio2
with this
