Smart Weather Stations by protocol
How do these protocols differ? Show the pros and cons
433 MHz RF 433.92 MHz (some US gear uses 315 MHz)
Pros
- Very cheap sensors
- Long range through walls and out to the yard
- Batteries last a long time
- A $30 SDR dongle running rtl_433 can read hundreds of device models
Cons
- No common standard; each brand uses its own encoding
- Mostly one-way, with no confirmation that a command arrived
- Typically no encryption, so signals can be sniffed or replayed
- Needs an RF bridge or SDR to get into a smart home system
Our take: Great for cheap outdoor sensors you only need to read. Skip it for anything security-related.
