Doorbell and Gas meter

Filed under: Home Automation,RTL-SDR — taing @ 3:51 pm

In looking for the Honeywell doorbell, model RCWL330A, FCC ID HS9-51459SL, which should be at 916.8MHz I found my gas meter (rtl_433 device 149). The output looks like:

time      : 2020-04-02 14:04:27
model     : ERT-SCM      Id        : 5458xxxx

I’ve modified the Id field to but this above shows both my meter and the neighbors. A quick check of wikipedia gives a few more details on the data. Github also has a project targeting these meters – rtlamr. Grid Insite has more detail on the technology and history of these meters.

Now, back to the doorbell. I was hoping this might be a built in device for rtl_433 but further searching reveals it might be different from the predefined devices 115 & 116. Strangley I see nothing from the doorbell but is still rings. Further testing obviously needed.
