Listen Only Mode Only Works For 6 Mins
ADeadPixel opened this issue · comments
I'm currently trying to figure out my meters information so I am running this add-on in listen only mode and monitoring the debug topic in HA and in MQTT Explorer. However, after 6 mins of running the receiver context will cancel and the i/o will time out.

I'm not sure if listen_only mode is meant to run for more than 6 mins. But idk how else to get my meter info. I did not pick up any info during those 6 mins. That makes me think that the meters either trigger at a certain times of day or when the trucks roll by they trigger it somehow. Either way I would need to be in listen_only mode to see if I can scrape the data when/if that happens.
Slightly outside of the scope of this issue I did find my electric meter in bemasher's csv but I'm not sure where to find the meter id information on it. FCC ID: R7PEG1R1S6 if anyone wants to assist.
This seems to be a hardware issue.
Try to plug your SDL device on an powered USB hub.
Please, check #98 for reference
I have tried using a powered USB hub as mentioned in #98 but it did not solve the issue. I have a very similar setup to kspearrin where my Home Assistant is a VM inside of a proxmox server. I'm going to try this again on one of my pis and see if anything changes.
Sorry for late response (holidays and what not)
I am experiencing the same issue on a fresh pi with a fresh docker image. See logs below

Doing some more digging on this I found this exact issue here. Looking into it I may have lost the lottery and received a bad unit. Going to return and see if a new one works better. Will update once new one comes in and I get a chance to test it out.
A new antenna did no solve the issue. I'm going to try a different RTLamr project to see if I can get that one working. I'm not sure what the issue here could be.
I also have a similar issue, running in a container in k3s. I got a powered USB hub today and am still seeing the same behavior.

I have tried a powered USB hub, having an usb extension so the usb hub won't get heated. I have tried it on and RTL-SDR Blog V3 R860 RTL2832U and Nooelec Dual-Band NESDR Nano 2+.
If I run the docker with filtering the meter's I have seen listed in the listen only mode, it will run without issues (likely because its sleeping after a successful read)
