rflink not seeing La Crosse TX141TH-BV2

I just got rflink running and have been playing around decoding which sensor is which around the house. In the process, I found that my La Crosse TX141TH-BV2 is not recognized. It looks like the communication can be decoded (example https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433/blob/5e4c7dcf1f4e98c16faf7e3176...

Re: Trying to make an auto-adjusting light timer

Sorry - by 'server' I meant another device running some kind of software that I have to install/maintain. I can use the in-law's router for wifi, but I don't want to be trying to run something on it (I'm sure it's the cheapest PoS router anyway). So far, using NTP on the Sonoff seems to work well en...

Re: Trying to make an auto-adjusting light timer

I just ordered a handful of those light sensors and will try them out. However, my overall goal was a *standalone* timer that didn't need a server (router, Pi, etc.) and would be suitable for tech-incompetent in-laws, for example. Having to ensure that both the 'server' and the various 'outlets' are...

Re: Trying to make an auto-adjusting light timer

To test, I just ran: On Clock#Time=All,%sunrise% do gpio,12,1 endon It's before sunset, so if the sunrise variable was continuously available, I'd expect to see my light turn on. However, it did not, so I'm guessing that %sunrise%/%sunset% are "hour:minute" specific and not something that'...

Re: Trying to make an auto-adjusting light timer

Is %sunset% something that is set and usable any time after sunset (until sunrise), or is it a one-time event (specific to a hour:minute)? I'm just trying to think of a power outage situation - would I be able to check %sunset% say, 3 hours after sunset, and know to turn the light on? Here in Florid...

Re: Trying to make an auto-adjusting light timer

wim16 - that fixed it! I came home and the light was on :)

Now, to figure-out how to do "2 hours before %sunset%" since my house gets dark before sunset...

Thanks for the help!

Trying to make an auto-adjusting light timer

Hi all, This is my first project using ESP Easy / Sonoff. My goal is to make a standalone lamp timer that will turn the light on at sunset (actually 1 hour earlier, but I haven't gotten that far). I could do this with Home Assistant or something else, but I'm trying to keep the timer a 'drop in' rep...
