rtl433-webmon

Web front end for a software defined radio reading various sensors.
Serves a simple webpage, using websockets and Angular to display live data received from the sensors.

Uses rtl_433 to receive and decode sensors transmissions

Inputs:

• 433MHz temperature/humidity sensors that can be received and decoded by rtl_433
• PMS5003 air quality particulates sensor via serial port
• temperature/humidity device polled from Samsung SmartThings cloud

Logging:

• Readings logged every 5mins to AWS CloudWatch

Web Display:

Immediate readings for

• Temperature and humidity (%RH)
• Electrical Power (Watts)
• Electricity used so far today (kWh)
• Air Quality (PM2.5 and PM10 counts)

Setup

• Make your copy of each secret_config/*.json.template file as secret_config/*.json and fill in the necessary values.
• Build or install rtl_433, and ensure that rtl_433 can successfully find and read your software defined radio device (eg. an RTL2832-based USB TV dongle).
• Edit devices: [...] in index.js to include the 433MHz device models you wish to receive (rtl_433 -R parameters)

Running
