weewx-sdr can't parse Oregon Scientific UVR128

[Rogene T.]

Hi everyone,

I recently got WeeWx running with SDR, using the 'recipe' located here:  https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/sdr-rpi-recipe

I'm successfully capturing and publishing data from 3 different sensors.  

Recently, I added an Oregon Scientific UVR128 sensor.  RTL_433 added support in 2018. It appears correctly when looking at output from RTL_433.

I ran this command to obtain the sensor name for mapping:

sudo PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/weewx python /usr/share/weewx/user/sdr.py --cmd="rtl_433 -M utc -F json -G"




It gives me an output line:

out: ['{"time" : "2019-11-05 07:07:07", "model" : "Oregon Scientific UVR128", "id" : 116, "uv" : 0, "battery" : "OK"}\n']

But it is not followed by a "parsed:" line.

Any help would be appreciated!

Seems this is an issue for the weewx-sdr driver, not WeeWx.  I'll post the question on the weewx-sdr github.

I successfully added parsing for the UVR128 to the weewx-sdr driver on GitHub.  WeeWx is now storing and reporting UV index from this sensor.

I hope to have it reviewed and merged back into the main repo soon.
