I run RTL_433 to push data from several sensors and a motion detector to an MQTT server for home automation. For some reason as of late it is just not that stable. Could even be a hardware failure with the dongle….I dunno. I generally just run the program command inside a terminal on the raspberry pi it is installed on and just walk away. When it crashes I have to log back in the Pi and re-run the command. Un-cool.
The command I use specifically is this:
rtl_433 -F json -M utc | mosquitto_pub -t home/rtl_433 -l
Again, that pushes data found on 433.920 MHz devices to publish a topic on my MQTT server called “home/rtl_433”.
