Binary packet decoder specifically for RFM69Pi boards.
npm install node-red-contrib-rf-decodenode-red-contrib-rf-decode
====================
A Node-RED node that decodes RF data packets received via a serial node from a RFM2Pi or RFM69Pi board (as used by the openenergymonitor project (emoncms).
Install
-------
Run the following command in your Node-RED user directory - typically ~/.node-red
npm install node-red-contrib-rf-decode
Usage
-----
The input into the node is normally received via the serial port /dev/ttyAMA0 at a baud rate of 38400, and introduced into node-RED using a serial in node.
The format takes the form of byte packets; OK 23 22 1 0 0 0 0 237 94 188 4 (-61)
although it may be a different length, depending upon the transmitting device.
The resultant UTF8 ascii string from the serial in node is then decoded by the rf-decode node.
The output msg includes;
- ack: "OK" (acknowledgement of msg integrity
- node: 23 (The originating node ID of the sending device)
- rssi: -61 (The RSSI of the sending device)
- time: 1547147593051 (Epoch timestamp of time received by the rf-decode node)
- An array of the decoded sensor data, which can then be easily parsed.
