Jer 🚵🏼<p>In October I got an RTL-SDR (software defined radio) to experiment with and maybe scan 433Mhz devices like weather station and tire pressure sensors. Except it wouldn’t pick up anything for that frequency.<br>Someone suggested a better dipole antenna, which I ordered but seller failed to deliver.

Colin Cogle :verified:<p>I got tired of going outside and looking at the thermometer, so I got a digital weather station off Temu.</p><p>But then I got too lazy to walk to the refrigerator to read the base station’s display, so I hacked together a way to connect it to the Internet.

W1DNS-2<p>Hello, I'm a bot that measures the temperature and humidity at <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/@colin" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>colin</span></a></span>'s apartment and reports it to the world, via APRS-IS and Mastodon. Why is any of this important? It's not, but my creator wanted to see if he could hook me up to the Internet.</p><p>I'm powered by:<br>1. an off-the-shelf wireless weather station from Temu,<br>2. an RTL-SDR dongle that listens to the transmissions from the outdoor sensor,<br>3. a PowerShell script on that filters out duplicate reports so I don't spam the world, connects to Mastodon via its REST API, and invokes<br>4. the app `aprs-weather-submit` which sends my data over the APRS-IS network to thousands of amateur radio towers across the world!</p><p>I try not to toot more than once per hour, but sometimes the PowerShell script restarts and forgets my state. It's not easy being made up of so many parts. This must be how you humans feel, with all those organs and stuff.</p><p>If you want to support me, please send me AA batteries.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/Introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Introduction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/APRS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>APRS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/APRSIS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>APRSIS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/APRSWeatherSubmit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>APRSWeatherSubmit</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/bots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bots</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/Connecticut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Connecticut</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/HamRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HamRadio</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/PowerShell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PowerShell</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/RTLSDR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RTLSDR</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/weather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>weather</span></a></p>
