Is this possible? And the reason I ask is, I'm not getting any Lightning Board data. Even if there is no lightning, it should send the data of the ID, I would think. I have ziltch.
Is there anyway to test these units?
I have the WR3 with a Lightning board attached, each device has its own Pro Mini board.

Are you seeing the transmission light flashing on the Lightning sensor? If memory severs, it should report every 15 minutes even with no lightning.
Run rtl_433 and see what you are getting on power up of the Lightning Sensor.

It absolutely can as long as the receiver is started with the correct switches. The following command, in wirelessSensors.py controls what the receiver listens to:
cmd = ['/usr/local/bin/rtl_433', '-q', '-F', 'json', '-R', '146', '-R', '147', '-R', '148', '-R', '150', '-R', '151', '-R', '152', '-R', '153', '-R', '154', '-R', '155']
The lightning detector is one of the following: 150, 151, 152, 153, 154, or 155. As long as the appropriate switch(es) are in the command above, you should be able to receive everything into a single receiver.
Thanks,
Jason

On the WR3 board that light (LED13) flickers everytime the other board's led's tx/rx flicker I have this script installed on the Lightning board, github.com/switchdoclabs/SDL_Arudino_WeatherSenseThunderBoard  |

This is the lines that I have in the wirelessSensors.py: #cmd = [ '/usr/local/bin/rtl_433', '-q', '-F', 'json', '-R', '154', '-R', '155']
cmd = ['/usr/local/bin/rtl_433', '-q', '-F', 'json', '-R', '146', '-R', '147', '-R', '148', '-R', '150', '-R', '151', '-R', '152', '-R', '153', '-R', '154', '-R', '155']One of the scripts I looked on my laptop was missing from 152 to 155, but the system that has the reciever mounted on it is as shown above. On another note, how do I get the indoor temperature to show up? Obviously, I need a senors. Don't have one. What is the best senosr to purchase so that it can be added to the system? Scott |
