you have to start 2 containers atleast.
sudo docker run -d -it --privileged --name RTL-TCP_AMR -p 1234:1234 -e DEVICE=0 -e LISTEN_IP=0.0.0.0 kosdk/rtl-tcp:latest
and then use rtl_amr to publish it to mqtt:
sudo docker run -d -e MQTT_BROKER_HOST=192.168.10.2 -e MQTT_BROKER_PORT=1883 -e MQTT_USERNAME=user -e MQTT_PASSWORD=pass -e MQTT_TOPIC_PREFIX=metermon -e RTLAMR_UNIQUE=false -e METERMON_SEND_BY_ID=true -e RTL_TCP_SERVER=<rtl_tcp ip>:1234 seanauff/metermon:arm
please go thru both of their own documentations to tweak these settings, and yu'll be surprised how many things it actually can pick up
ruby willow
thanks man - I have a supervised haos install so I gotta figure out how to do this on another machine I think
celest solstice
you can 'install' these binaries too, not necessarily have to use docker. Im not quite sure about rtl_amr though.
ruby willow
I have rtlamr and rtl_tcp running on another machine. there's not may cheat sheets on how to get it to scan everything. Like the example just says start it. Doesn't go over any options
celest solstice
then your best bet is rtl_433. It scans for everything, even tire presseure sensors
ruby willow
Yeah that's what I ran and I didn't pick up anything so I figured I did something wrong
I specified a frequency though. Was that my mistake?

should I just let that run? It's not displaying anything
Do I have to start rtl_tcp before running that?
celest solstice
if your rtl_sdr attached to different machine, then you have to specify that machine's ip as device for rtl_433. If it is on the same machine, it'll use the device and scan
i think you have to specify output option as well, like -F json. But ideally it should display anything and everything using 433MH freq
ruby willow
Yeah I'm getting no output
celest solstice
you can specify freq as 900MHZ for meters. Or, as i mentioned, use rtl_amr to scan for meters
it may take time though. not every device emt the signal frequently.
my gas meter emits once a day, so yea, you have to keep it running for some time. and it'll best to get the data in mqtt to log all the results
ruby willow
Yeah I just want to receive something so I know the radio is even working
celest solstice
then you're on correct path. rtl_433 will produce way more result than you expected
