This is the description of a sensor board that measures the temperature and transmits it over 433.92MHz radio. It uses the protocol for the weather1 sensor in pimatic/rfcontroljs [1]. Four separate temperature sensors can be connected to the same board.
Components
TX433N Transmitter [3]
KTY84/150 Temperature Sensor [4]
1 kOhm Resistor
Coil Loaded Antenna [5]
9V Battery Connector
2x 1 MOhm Resistor
Assembly
The Arduino is the backbone of the construction. Connect the battery connector to RAW and GND.Analog 4 is used to monitor the battery health. The two 1 MOhm resistors form a voltage divider to get below 5V on the analog input. Connect one resistor between RAW and Analog 4. Connect the other resistor between Analog 4 and GND.
The KTY84 and the 1 kOhm resistor forms a voltage divider. KTY84 connects to GND and one of Analog 0, 1, 2 or 3. The resistor connects to the same Analog and VCC.
TX433N is powered by VCC and GND on the Arduino. Connect TX433N Data to Digital 2.
Connect the coil loaded antenna to Ant.
Configuration
The board is configured with messages sent on the serial port (115200 bps). The following values can be set.X0: Exact resistance of the 1 kOhm Resistor
X1: Exact resistance of KTY84 at zero degrees Celsius
02: Id 0-255 (weather1)
03: Measurement Interval 0-32767 (ms)
04: Low battery warning level 0-1023
where X selects one of the analog inputs 0, 1, 2 or 3. Each sensor transmit on separate weather1 channels 1, 2, 3 and 4. All sensors have the same id and measurement interval.
Example: To set the analog in 3 KTY84 zero degree resistance to 509 Ohm, send the following message, ending with newline.
31:509
The temperature measured by this KTY84 will transmit on channel 4.
Calibration
To calibrate the sensor, first measure the resistance of the 1 kOhm resistor and write the value to config X0. Then adjust config X1 until the measured temperature matches the value of a reference temperature. The sensor is disabled when X0 is zero.References
