I have been using rtl_433 to listen to sensors, and generally they send a very short burst at some interval, usually somewhat under a minute. So occasionally they will collide, and usually they won't, and missing one observation probably isn't that important. So if your real goal is to just monitor the chicken coop, I would think about a very low end acurite temp/humid sensor/display. You could add a rtl-sdr and rtl_433 to inject this into weewx for recording. Total cost probably $50. Another option is to get a Davis Vantage Pro 2 (perhaps Plus if you want UV and solar radiation) and a second temp/humidity sensor. With the computer interface, that's going to be around $1000. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
