G'day.

I recently purchased a Bresser7in1, (a badged CEL W100 ) and got that working nicely with WeeWx via and RTL-SDR with some fiddling.
However, the pressure is not derived at the main sensor, it's done at the console, and at the moment, it's not known if you can interogate the console.

(Port 5000 is open, but ... needs someone with greater knowledge than 'thou to investigate.)

anyhow, in the mean time I have a WH25 kicking about which provides hPa.

I tried to use RTL_433 hopping between the two QRGs but, that didn't work out so well.
The 7in1 trasmits every 12 seconds up on 868, the WH25, on 433 every 70 it seems, plus 433 is quite busy with other sensors.

The question is, how do get I another  instances of RTL_433 working so that 'loop' sees the json from both proesss?

in weex.conf,  two "cmd"  and it bitches about duplicaate, I tried two sections [SDR0] and [SDR1], but again, no cigar...

Thougths ?


btw weewx on ubuntu16.04 via apt install , virtualised on proxmox with USB pass throug,  Skill level, not a coder. but hack a bit of very very simple php and bash at a push.
python is voodoo so please be gentle.


Mark.

For me, using a couple of 433 sensors and one 915, this command works in the SDR config:

[SDR]
    # This section is for the software-defined radio driver.
    
    # The driver to use
    driver = user.sdr
    # cmd = rtl_433 -M utc -M level -F json # For only 433 sensors
    cmd = rtl_433 -f 433.920M -f 915M -H 30 -M utc -M level -F json # For 433 and 915 sensors
    path = /usr/local/bin/
    log_unknown_sensors = False
    log_unmapped_sensors = False
