weathermon

Raspberry Pi-based weather monitor for Ambient Weather F007-TH sensors.

Listens to RF signals from the F007-TH sensors using a 434MHz reciever, tracks weather data, and serves a weather site written in Flask.

F007-TH Data Encoding Format

  • RF communication at 434MHz

  • Uses Manchester Encoding ( '1' represented by high --> low transition)

  • bit time = 1ms

  • 195 bit frame, 65 bit packet repeated 3 times

  • frames sent every ~1 min (varies by channel)

    • Map of channel id to transmission interval: {1: 53s, 2: 57s, 3: 59s, 4: 61s, 5: 67s, 6: ??s, 7: 71s, 8: 73s}
    • Source: github.com/gr-ambient. Ch 6 interval missing there too.

  • Packet Format

    • header: all 1s, with final 01 before data starts
    • 8 bit sensor ID: F007th = Ox45
    • 8 bit random ID: resets each time the battery is changed
    • 1 bit low battery indicator: 1 ==> low battery
    • 3 bit channel number: channel 1-8 represented as binary 0-7, selectable on F007th unit using dip switches on back
    • 12 bit temperature data:
      • To Farenheit: subtract 400 and divide by 10 e.g. 010001001011 => 1099, (1099-400) / 10 = 69.9F
      • To Celsius: subtract 720 and multiply by 0.0556 e.g. (1099 - 720) * 0.0556 = 21.1C
    • 8 bit humidity data: relative humidity as integer
    • 8 bit checksum: cracked by Ron (BaronVonSchnowzer on Arduino forum)
    • padding: some 0s to fill out packet
