Getting Digitech / Bresser 6in1 weather stations working with rtl_433, MQTT, and Home Assistant
Please note: this post is a re-write of a previous post about my Vevor weather station that failed after a few months because of ineffective weather seals on the outdoor unit. Given the poor warranty service from Vevor, I instead went and bought a weather station from a local retailer. In my case a Jaycar Digitech XC-0434, which also appears to be sold online as a Bressser 6in1 weather station.
Now that we’ve defeated QNAP’s slightly broken udev, we can run a Docker container with rtl_433 in it to wire up our Digitech / Bresser 6in1 weather station to Home Assistant via MQTT. First off, we need a Docker container running rtl_433, which assumes you’ve already setup the udev rule mentioned in the previous post, even if you’re not using a QNAP!
