How to steal your neighbors' thermometers: https://github.com/hdtodd/DNT

[hdtodd]

Well, ok, not "steal". More like borrow, as in "may I borrow a cup of WiFi?"

I've written a small Python3 program to display neighboring thermometers using rtl_433 to monitor the ISM band. It's available at https://github.com/hdtodd/DNT. It requires rtl_433 to be operating on a computer (perhaps the same computer) on your local-area network. It functions on Raspbian and MacOSX (at least).

The README guides through the installation and configuration of rtl_433 as a monitoring service and of the DNT.py program.

Interesting to see a do-one-thing-well frontend to rtl_433 data.
We should really have a showcase or built-with-rtl_433 page in the wiki.
Start one if you like!

I like that idea!  I couldn't see a good way to share this code, but the "built-with rtl_433" idea is a great one.  I'll get one started tomorrow. It occurs to me that my "snr" program might fit into the same category if I were to rework it to monitor the live stream. Interesting exercise for me to consider.  I'll give that some thought, too.

Done.  I added it to the rtl_433 Wiki page list. I haven't done one of these Wiki pages before. Please check and let me know if this format is OK. David

Looks good. You can also link that page from the wiki "home" page, e.g. under a new section "More".

I wasn't sure quite what you were suggesting, but I tried something that might attract interest in a slightly different way. David
