[weewx-user] Re: sdr.py not parsing Oregon WGR800X output correctly.
Hi Gazza,
The 'if' statement is on the right hand side of the '=' sign is actually a
ternary operator. Read the expression as :
if obj.get('battery_ok') == 'OK':
pkt['battery'] = 1
else:
pkt['battery']=0
(In python Numeric zero, None or False all evaluate to False, anything else
is true).
C++ has a similar operator ? : operator.
See https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0308/ for the rational. Personally
I find it very confusing to use 'if' for both forms.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
Rob

Hi Rob,
I don't know much about python so can you explain how the new version of
the battery status works as I still have to sort that for my mates station.
if 'battery_ok' in obj:
pkt['battery'] = 1 if obj.get('battery_ok') == 'OK' else 0
If the received data is "battery_ok" : 1 ( or "battery_ok" : 0 for flat
battery), what is the == 'OK' doing as it will never return a result of
'OK" ??

[weewx-user] Re: sdr.py not parsing Oregon WGR800X output correctly.
Thanks. In the end I kept the sensor name the same and mimiced the code for
parse_json() from another posting so its compatible with both versions of
rtl_433.
NB original version of sdr.py parses battery status the wrong way round (0
is False, 1 is True). Seems to be a common problem in lots of sensors.
Here is the fixed code:
# {"time" : "2018-08-04 15:29:27", "brand" : "OS", "model" : "PCR800",
"id" : 236, "channel" : 0, "battery" : "OK", "rain_rate" : 0.000,
"rain_total" : 109.594}
# {"time" : "2020-05-23 11:18:53", "brand" : "OS", "model" :
"Oregon-PCR800", "id" : 40, "channel" : 0, "battery_ok" : 1,
"rain_rate_in_h" : 0.000, "rain_in" : 97.571}
@staticmethod
def parse_json(obj):
pkt = dict()
pkt['dateTime'] = Packet.parse_time(obj.get('time'))
pkt['usUnits'] = weewx.US
pkt['house_code'] = obj.get('id')
pkt['channel'] = obj.get('channel')
if 'battery' in obj:
pkt['battery'] = 1 if obj.get('battery') == 'OK' else 0
if 'battery_ok' in obj:
pkt['battery'] = 1 if obj.get('battery_ok') == 'OK' else 0
# Rain rate (inches/hour - weewx.us set above)
if 'rain_rate' in obj:
pkt['rain_rate'] = Packet.get_float(obj, 'rain_rate')
if 'rain_rate_in_h' in obj:
pkt['rain_rate'] = Packet.get_float(obj, 'rain_rate_in_h')
# Total rainfall (inches)
if 'rain' in obj:
pkt['rain'] = Packet.get_float(obj, 'rain')
if 'rain_in' in obj:
pkt['rain'] = Packet.get_float(obj, 'rain_in')
return OS.insert_ids(pkt, OSPCR800Packet.__name__)
Looking at the code for rtl_433 lots of other sensors are affected by the
cnages in rtl_443. Is there a mechanism for asking the developers to update
the official version of sdr.py?
Many thanks

As you have alredy found this is another case where rtl_433 has changed the reported info from what is expected by sdr.py V0.77. For this station it looks like most of the strings have changed. In the 'class OSWGR800Packet(Packet):' section of sdr.py try changing these bits, fromIDENTIFIER = "WGR800" to IDENTIFIER = "Oregon-WGR800" frompkt['wind_gust'] = Packet.get_float(obj, 'gust') pkt['wind_speed'] = Packet.get_float(obj, 'average') pkt['wind_dir'] = Packet.get_float(obj, 'direction') to pkt['wind_gust'] = Packet.get_float(obj, 'wind_max_m_s') pkt['wind_speed'] = Packet.get_float(obj, 'wind_avg_m_s') pkt['wind_dir'] = Packet.get_float(obj, 'wind_dir_deg') The battery status info has also changed from 'battery:OK' to 'battery_ok : 1' but I'm not sure what change is needed to fix that.

[weewx-user] Re: sdr.py not parsing Oregon WGR800X output correctly.
Hi,
I have done some more research and it looks like there was a change in
RTL_433 at tag 19.08 (August 2019) that changed the naming convention for a
significant number of wind related fields for lots of sensors. I guess
sdr.py needs to be updated to take this into account. I would offer but my
main programming was over 20 years ago and have never programmed in Python
so I would probably do more harm than good.
https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433/commit/6d21cad0f158fbc6064d66ddd1abf96d6ba4867b#diff-06935eba6ba3c8d3e4b0d4d59d294ac8

you can either configure the environment before running python/weewx:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:${PATH}
PYTHONPATH=bin python bin/user/sdr.py
or you can specify PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH as options to the sdr driver
and it will pre-load the environment with those variables before it invokes
the rtl_433 command. for example:
[SDR]
path = /usr/loca/bin
ld_library_path = /usr/local/lib
cmd = rtl_433 -G
m
