@Werk_AG:

thanks for the note about the baud rate, now readable values are displayed.
I attach a screenshot to this message.

Today, the Ventus W044 sensor was delivered, I thought to shut down the Auriol unit, maybe that's not so easy. I had removed the batteries from the temperature / wind unit and then started the Pro2 Compact, actually it should stop when initializing, but the letter "T" emperature turned green. WTF? The Ventus sensor was not activated yet. Could another sensor disturb my operation here?


@engolling
it only spins the temperature and humidity values, but only the Pro2 Compact unit, the Auriol unit displays all values correctly.
The wind and rain values are displayed correctly everywhere.

The temp / humidity values on the Pro2 Compact constantly change between three-digit positive and negative ranges, as well as the correct display back and forth.

Hi Sun_Dancer,

That was a good test, which revealed the source of the problem.

Since I activated my Auriol to try to reproduce the reported problem, I have taken the opportunity to revise the Auriol code, which I haven't touched for years. Contrarily to what I said on the previous post, the WeatherDuino receives and decodes all Temp / Hum data packets from any sensor available which transmits T/H in the Auriol format, obviously this causes problems when there are any other extra T/H sensor. This is what is happening with you, otherwise the letter "T" wouldn't turn to green on the receiver.

This can be fixed, but the fix implies a rule: Any extra T/H sensor can only be turned ON, after WeatherDuino receives the first T/H data packet from the main Auriol weather station. This must be done this way, because Auriol creates a random ID for each type of data packet each time it starts, so what I can do is make WeatherDuino to bind to the ID of first T/H data packet it receives. Hope what I mean be understandable.

I already changed the Auriol part of the code to behaves this way. Besides this changes I added to the Auriol code some anti-spike routines for the wind and temperature / humidity data packets. I will publish the new software ASAP, possibly still tonight.

WeatherDuino Pro2 Compact - RX v3.1_b004 released.

Please don't forget to keep OFF any extra RF T/H sensor until WeatherDuino receive the first T/H data packet from the main Auriol weather station.
Hint: Don't keep any extra RF T/H sensor too close to the WeatherDuino receiver, because this will reduce drastically the capability to receive RF signals from devices which are at longer distances.

Hope this software update will solve the reported issues. When possible please give some feedback.
Thank you.

Hello @Werk_AG,

I am glad that I could and should contribute to the further development of the WeatherDuino or Auriol code with my problem. But I hope that the effort will not be too big. I'm almost on the subject. I was amazed when I discovered the next update for the Compact, they provide great support, I am very pleased as end users.
Now on the subject, since you have delivered the update so quickly, I have flashed in joyful anticipation, of course, quickly.
However, the success has not occurred, my problem persists.
I think I did not make a mistake, my update expiration:
Arduino IDE cleaned up after the board administrator then added the new WeahterDuino software, including libraries, tools etc and then converted the two configuration files to my requirements.
Then I got my wind / temperature unit from the balcony and simply removed the batteries. The Auriol unit has pretty quickly missed this unit, but the Weatherduino does not :-) and continues to receive temp / humidity values.
Next, I loaded the new software onto the Duino and powered the Wind / Temp unit with batteries and placed it next to the Duino. This was also now fully loaded and restarted shortly thereafter. Temp and rain sensor were detected quite quickly, the wind sensor was a bit in the future. I did not have to wait long and all the sensors were initialized. I also did not have to wait long to realize that my problem of changing values ​​still existed.
The next test showed that my Pro2 Compact (just to reinitialize the batteries back into the Wind / Temp unit) receives no temperature and humidity data without a Temp unit. The auriol unit, however, showed no more values ​​ant. The Ventus W044, of course, the batteries were removed. Other Temp. Sensors which send by 433Mhz, are unknown to me in my environment or possession. And now comes, I change the location of the Pro2 Compact to the balcony, the temp and humidity values ​​are constantly changing, which was not the case in the living room, about 4m from the balcony.
I'll take the Pro2 Compact with me today and see if there are any sensors detected.

best regards ....

Have you done this already?

Out of curiosity, by the pictures your Auriol seems new. Are there still Auriol weather stations for sale? I thought they no longer exist.

Unfortunately, I have not come to this, I also wanted to take the sensors, but actually it is enough to see if the T is green or not.

* Laugh * Of course there is still to buy with us, but my station is a bit older, it was never used.

buy a Auriol Weatherstation :-)

[Sun_Dancer]

Today I travel with the Weatherduino. He finds no sensors, the T stays red. But good advice is expensive now. Greetings...

Did you take the Auriol Transmitter with you?
Because all the information reads a bit confusing for me.

As I got it, you have to set your WeatherDuino back to factory reset. Then the WeatherDuino binds the first signal from the first radio signal it gets. So if it is not from your Auriol Transmitter unit is can be anything and thus it is decoded wrong.

I would suggest to reset the WeatherDuino and Power it up first time in the cellar with the Auriol Transmitter beneath it. This has be done each time the battery is pulled out from the Auriol Transmitter.
So the WeatherDuino knows which data belongs to your TX and processes it.
You can also write me in German if something is still unclear.

PS. Are you a tram driver since the WeatherDuino is sitting in the very front.

Hello engolling,
I did not take the sensors with me. At home I had the problem that the Duino has received data from a temperature sensor, although my sensors were de-energized. Therefore, I have taken him to work to see if he finds a temperature sensor in the wild. This is not the case and now I know that at home there must be at least one sensor that interferes with mine. Thanks for the tip with the cellar. I was not aware that the Duino remembers the data of my sensors and connects with them again when he had no power. As I visit my parents tomorrow, I will take everything with me and set up there. Yes, I'm a tram driver in Leipzig.

Hi Sun_Dancer

Let me tell you a little of history. Five years ago I bought an Auriol weather station, then, to have the possibility to log their data I built the AuriolDuino, the predecessor of the WeatherDuino system. The code to decode the Auriol messages worked for my weather station for more than an year, then I decided to upgrade my weather instruments to something better. I'm telling this, to emphasize that the Auriol code isn't something in development, it has done since long time and it works, I just took this opportunity to revise it, and add some things like anti-spike routines and limit reception of T/H data just from the ID of first T/H sensor from where it receives a data packet (This one was done, thinking in your case, as I never had any extra Auriol T/H sensor, I never thought about that).

That said, lets go to what matters...

Please try these procedures, exactly by this order:

- Turn OFF any extra T/H sensors that you are aware that exist in your home.
- Don't turn OFF your Auriol weather station, by the contrary, keep it working normally.
- Download latest WeatherDuino Pro2 Compact software (v3.1_b005 - Release date: 2019-09-01)
- Change Config_Options to suite your needs. Reprogram the receiver. After it passed the initial screen (TWR letters green) you can safely turn ON any extra T/H sensor you may have.

Every time you switch off (or change the batteries) on the Auriol weather station, do a "Factory Reset" on the WeatherDuino receiver, otherwise it will not receive T/H data any more, this will happen because Auriol randomly changes the sensors ID each time it starts. Think on it as the "Channel Search" on the original Auriol console.

At the end, if you conclude that it doesn't work for you, you can send back the receiver to me, I will full refund you. In terms of software, there is little I can do more.
