Current Situation

Hello,

I have two devices:
"TFA Marbella Pool Thermometer" works well with bulild_flag:
DCC1101_FREQUENCY=868.00

"Bresser Weather Center 5-in-1" works well with bulild_flag:
DCC1101_FREQUENCY=868.30

But both together do not work.
What do I have to set so that they work at the same time?

with the original merbanan/rtl_433 both works at the same time with a RTL2832U on a Rasp.

Thanks!
Markus

Hello NorthernMan54,

First of all, thank you very much for your support!

I have tested all frequencies between 868.00 and 868.30, but unfortunately both devices did not work simultaneously at any frequency.

Do you have any tips on which settings I could change on the receiver?
Why can I receive both devices at the same time with the USB-stick and not with the Lilygo?

two devices are of course a possibility....

Thanks!

@Dubi256 If you look at the data sheet for the transceiver module, they have a lot of settings. https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/product-files/3179/sx1276_77_78_79.pdf

And they are set here in the code -

#if defined(RF_SX1276) || defined(RF_SX1278)

Please keep in mind that the LilyGo and the USB-stick are two totally different technologies, and the signal reception logic between the this package and rtl_433 is totally different. rtl_433 uses a software defined signal demodulator, where this package leverages the signal demodulator with the receiver chipset.

The USB sticks have very powerfull receivers designed originally for receiving digital TV (DVB-T). Combined with a PC you can receive and view a wide range of frequencies. I think up to 2 Mhz.
Radio receivers are dedicated for a much smaller bandwidth. I'm not sure your 300 khz is within their capabilities. You need to check the specs and maybe test some register modifications.

You could implement a routine change of frequency for the receiver. Depending on your emitters frequency sending, 5 min at each frequency, for example
