    • 433 mhz from Arduino to Raspberry

      Hi!

      I think this might be my first post on this forum after only reading for quite a while, thanks for all the great knowledge sofar!

      I´m buildning something that might in the end become a heating system for my house that also might be expanded to control sun thermal panels and perhaps the heating of a planned pool. But all this is in the future and far from set.

      As i´m new to arduino and also kind of new to python (i have mostly been working with computer vision in python) i´m trying my way right now.

      The problem i have is the connection through 433 mhz between arduino and raspberry. The sensors i have right now are cheap RF-Link sender and reciever, no brand, the sender has FS1000A and FST printed on but nothing about who could have made this peice of j*nk.

      Köp RF-link 433MHz sändare och mottagare till rätt pris @ Electrokit.png

      I have hooked it up, sender from Arduino using the RCSwitch library and recieving on the raspberry using the rpi_rf package.

      On the Arduino i have a dt22 sending humidity and temp and i get it to my raspberry, most of the times.

      Usually it works, but perhaps every third transmission is way of. In the arduino code i have set protocol (1) and also the pulse lenght (253) with pulse after protocol to prevent pulse from resetting the protocol setting (at least thats what i heard).

      Does anyone know a 433 library/package that is delevoped for cross-platform sending if data through 433 mhz?

      I have found a few but most of them have depraved Pi-packages and i dont know really what could be the problem.

      I also suffer from horrible transmission streinght, i have a pretty solid transmission <5 cm but longer then that and its pretty much gone. I have soldered on two small spring antennas and im running at from the manufacturer recomended voltage.

      So; does anyone have any ideas of what could be done to imporive this?

      As mentioned before, i´m new on this and i could have missed something obvious. The main reasong for this project right now is to collect a lot of data to a database as this is where i might be able to make something work for real.

      As you probably already have noticed, english is not my native tounge and if there is anythong that is should further explain or re-phrase - please just let me know.

      Best,

      Martin

    • RE: Temperature and humidity room sensor

      @OldSurferDude thank you so much for your reply, I’ll definitely look into this further!

    • Temperature and humidity room sensor

      Hi!

      Let me start of by mentioning that English is not my native tongue so if there are anything I should explain further or rephrase please let me know.

      I’m planning a “DIY” heating system and I’m right now really interested in pihome’s solution.
      There is really only two things;

      • does anyone know if it’s possible to add a humidity sensor to the room sensor and have the communication work in the same way as the temperature sensor.

      Could someone estimate what impact this would have on the battery life?

      • the other thing is that I would like to send the data to a sql for further analysis. I’ve been looking into machine learning with deep learning and I would like to collect the data for testing algorithms on.

      Thanks in advance,

      Martin
