Unable to compile RTL_433 and BT together on ESP32

Hi,

I’m facing an error when trying to compile the development branch (cf0f535) for ESP32 with both RTL_433 and BT modules. I can compile only when only one of those modules is enabled. I’ve tried couple of previous commits to no avail.

Using pio on Linux.

Config:

[env:esp32-somfy-ble]
platform = ${com.esp32_platform}
board = esp32dev
upload_port = /dev/CP2104
upload_speed = 256000
board_build.partitions = min_spiffs.csv
lib_deps =
  ${com-esp.lib_deps}
  ${libraries.ble}
  ${libraries.decoder}
  ${libraries.rtl_433_ESP}
  ${libraries.smartrc-cc1101-driver-lib}
  ${libraries.somfy_remote}
build_flags =
  ${com-esp.build_flags}
  '-DZgatewayBT="BT"'
  '-DZgatewayRTL_433="RTL_433"'
  '-DZactuatorSomfy="Somfy"'
  '-DZradioCC1101="CC1101"'
  '-DLED_SEND_RECEIVE=2'
  '-DLED_SEND_RECEIVE_ON=1'
  '-DGateway_Name="OpenMQTTGateway"'

The error:

/home/andrew/projects/OpenMQTTGateway/main/ZgatewayBT.ino:68:1: error: 'TheengsDecoder' does not name a type
TheengsDecoder decoder;

I can see |-- <TheengsDecoder> 0.1.4+sha.0c1649f in the dependency graph above, but the build cannot find it during compilation.

Could someone help me with this please?

Cheers.

Hi,

Interesting, I reproduce your issue.

I also get it working by changing this

@h2zero any thoughts on this?

I thought that the two modules wouldn’t work together on the same ESP32 as they were very resource intensive ?

Yeah, didn’t tested it. Only building. I should have written “building” instead if working.

Hi @1technophile ,

Thanks for your reply.
I didn’t quite get what you’ve done.
decoder.h already defines TheengsDecoder class.
Have you added a new TheengsDecoder.cpp and TheengsDecoder.h ?

Hello,

I renamed the .h and .cpp to match the class name and renamed the library include.

So I tried to do the same, and it compiles fine.
However I’m getting a boot loop on startup.
The error:

Rebooting...

Any suggestions ?

As @NorthernMan54 warned the board may not have enough memory for this combination.
I suggest that you remove protocols from RTL_433 so as to free more memory

@antoniosa in the rtl_433_esp module I included a compiler definition called MY_DEVICES that shows the changes needed to reduce the number of device decoders. You should be able to use this as a guide to make the adjustments to reduce the memory usage based on your specific devices.

Thanks for suggestions guys.
I’ve played around with things and concluded that I actually don’t need RTL_433 for my devices, they work fine with RCSwitch. Thus the problem is irrelevant for me anymore.
Anyway thank you for a brilliant piece of software, I can now control my blinds and ceiling fans with Homeassistant.

Cheers.

Hello,
I’m trying to get the Lilygo to work with RTL and BT. It compiles but I get error:

I understand that it is perhaps possible to solve this by removing included supported rtl devices. I struggle to find the lib where I can remove these, or where to list which I want to include. Can you point me in the right direction please?

I asked to quickly, I found the reference here:

I cannot find this file locally though, should I include this in another source file locally?

If you look, you will find the say, that is true.

By limiting RTL devices to around 10 it works fine in combination with BT.
For me this is ok as there are really not that many 433Mhz devices I need.

This worked for me:

OpenMQTTGateway-development.pio\libdeps\lilygo-rtl_433\rtl_433_ESP\src\signalDecoder.cpp:




    // end of fragement &oregon_scientific_sl109h,

#else
      memcpy(&cfg->devices[0], &oregon_scientific, sizeof(r_device));
      memcpy(&cfg->devices[1], &interlogix, sizeof(r_device));
      memcpy(&cfg->devices[2], &oregon_scientific_v1, sizeof(r_device));
      memcpy(&cfg->devices[3], &rubicson, sizeof(r_device));
      memcpy(&cfg->devices[4], &rubicson_48659, sizeof(r_device));
      memcpy(&cfg->devices[5], &rubicson_pool_48942, sizeof(r_device));
      memcpy(&cfg->devices[6], &ts_ft002, sizeof(r_device));
      memcpy(&cfg->devices[7], &smoke_gs558, sizeof(r_device));
      memcpy(&cfg->devices[8], &kerui, sizeof(r_device));
      memcpy(&cfg->devices[9], &nexus, sizeof(r_device));
  

#endif

and in:
OpenMQTTGateway-development.pio\libdeps\lilygo-rtl_433\rtl_433_ESP\include\rtl_433_devices.h

#else
/**

    DECL(oregon_scientific)          \

    DECL(rubicson)                   \

#  define NUMOF_OOK_DEVICES 10

#endif

I will test for stability and report back if it not stable.
Thanks for great project and sorry for asking stupid questions…

I am also trying to get BLE and RTL_433 running on the same ESP32. Thanks to this guide here I managed to remove unnecessary protocols. The compilation/build then worked. Unfortunately, the WebUI is no longer accessible as soon as I use the firmware with BLE and RTL_433 together. If I remove one of them from the BuildFlags then the WebUI works. What could be the reason for this?
