Attempting to integrate Acurite 6045M, rtl_433 does not show parsed data, cannot figure out entry for sensor map

[Nick Kavanagh]

I am running the most current versions of weewx, rtl-sdr, rtl_433, and Belchertown. I am attempting to add the temperature parameter from the 6045M to the sensor map as extraTemp2. When I run

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

 

I get this as output for the 6045M:

out:[u'{"time" : "2021-02-08 13:34:08", "model" : "Acurite-6045M", "id" : 9, "channel" : "A", "battery_ok" : 1, "temperature_F" : 28.900, "humidity" : 70, "strike_count" : 58, "storm_dist" : 12, "active" : 0, "rfi" : 0, "exception" : 0, "raw_msg" : "c0096fc68d691d0c1d"}\n', u'{"time" : "2021-02-08 13:34:08", "model" : "Acurite-6045M", "id" : 9, "channel" : "A", "battery_ok" : 1, "temperature_F" : 28.900, "humidity" : 70, "strike_count" : 58, "storm_dist" : 12, "active" : 0, "rfi" : 0, "exception" : 0, "raw_msg" : "c0096fc68d691d0c1d"}\n', u'{"time" : "2021-02-08 13:34:08", "model" : "Acurite-6045M", "id" : 9, "channel" : "A", "battery_ok" : 1, "temperature_F" : 28.900, "humidity" : 70, "strike_count" : 58, "storm_dist" : 12, "active" : 0, "rfi" : 0, "exception" : 0, "raw_msg" : "c0096fc68d691d0c1d"}\n'

There is no parsed output.

My question is: What do I add in my sensor map as the stanza for temperature_F to be mapped to extraTemp2?

So far I have attempted multiple versions including:

temperature.0009.Acurite6045M

temperature_F.0009.Acurite6045M

both again as Acurite6045MV2

both again as AcuriteLightningPacket

both again as AcuriteLightningPacketV2

as well as several other variations.

Does anyone know how to identify the packet from the 6045M?

Thank you,

Try this one.

That is not working. It seems like the problem is the id number of the sensor. The Id is "9". Converting to hexadecimal, the number is....9. Or with twos complement 0009. I have tried using both of these in the stanza as

temperature.9.AcuriteLightningPacket

&

temperature.0009.AcuriteLightningPacket

Neither have worked. Any suggestions on what that center portion of the stanza should actually be?

Try using a wildcard:

temperature.0009.Acurite6045M

temperature.*.Acurite6045M

I attempted the wildcard with several variatons on the packet name, with no joy. However, with debug set to 1, and log_unknown and _unmapped_sensors true, I am getting two lines in the log:

eb 10 19:57:39 weewxserver weewx[31499] DEBUG user.sdr: parse_json: unknown model Acurite-6045M
Feb 10 19:57:39 weewxserver weewx[31499] DEBUG user.sdr: punt unrecognized line '{"time" : "2021-02-11 00:57:36", "model" : "Acurite-6045M", "id" : 9, "channel" : "C", "battery_ok" : 1, "temperature_F" : 55.200, "humidity" : 62, "strike_count" : 88, "storm_dist" : 20, "active" : 1, "rfi" : 0, "exception" : 0, "raw_msg" : "00096fbecff0ac14b5"}#012'

what I'm confused by is that it is indicating the Acurite-6045M is an unknown model. I see from one of the answers above that, at least in that person's system, it is recognized. Could this be a bug in the latest release of the sdr driver software?

I also ran a find on my system to locate sdr.py and see if there was some way to convince it to recognize the 6045M. It appears that I don't have this file. I've downloaded it, but I'm unsure where to place it and cause it to be run when required.

try the following

install sdr and follow instructions https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-sdr

-update rtl_433 to latest

-edit the sdr.py file and make sure the identifier is "Acurite-6045M"

-add this to sensor map in weewx.conf file

    [[sensor_map]]

        extraTemp2 = temperature.0009.AcuriteLightningPacket

[Nick Kavanagh]

Thanks to all of you, I solved it. It appears that in the most current version of the weewx-sdr code, the 6045M is NOT a recognized model. After rerunning find with better search parameters, I found it where it belonged in /usr/share/weewx/user/. Thanks to Andy and his upload of his version of sdr.py, I replaced the version that came with the most recent code on github with Andy's version and it was immediately recognized. It also is using a wild card at this point, but I"m going to edit weewx.conf and try 0009 as the identifier. All I have added now is the temperature reading, but I will be adding lightning readings tomorrow. Thanks again, and I"m going to raise an issue on the github page for weewx-sdr.
