Wiren Board 6: 433MHz extension module (WBE2S-R-433MHZ)

Hardware

433MHz extension module

In the Wiren Board controllers, starting with the Wiren Board 6.5, packet radio support is implemented via a separately installed module WBE2S-R-433MHZ. Transceiver 433MHz RFM69H is used, the same as mounted on the controllers of the previous models.

Installation

Installation of antenna SMA-socket

Antenna connection

The module can only be installed in the MOD3 slot.Appropriate instructions for disassembling the enclosure can be found here: Disassemble the controller enclosure. The module has an SMA-Female connector for connecting an external antenna 433MHz. The connector is installed in a special hole in the controller housing above the Ethernet connectors with the RF Remote sticker (drilled in the controller housing starting from the Wiren Board 6.5 version). In Wiren Board 6 models of earlier versions, a hole with a diameter of 6.5 mm must be drilled at the specified location. The SMA socket of the module must be fixed in the hole in the housing. When reassembling the housing, make sure that the connecting cable from the module to the SMA socket does not get caught between the indicator and the plastic transparent light guide on the top cover of the controller. The external antenna is screwed onto the SMA socket.

Installing module into Mod3 slot

It is necessary to cut the case jumpers by cutting pliers or break the plug with a screwdriver

Configuration

Configuration is carried out in the web interface, section Configs => Hardware Modules Configuration. 

Choose "WBE2S-R-433MHZ" in Internal slot 3 and click Save.

The device is detected immediately, no reboot is required.

Работа в Wiren Board 6

После добавления модуля в web-интерфейсе контроллера должно появиться устройство ISM Radio и шаблоны устройств Noolite. Если в зоне приема есть радиопередающие устройства (поддерживающие пакетную передачу данных на частоте 433 MHz), то контрол "rx raw" будет увеличивать свое значение с каждым принятым пакетом данных. Если в дзоне радиодоступности есть датчики Oregon Scientific (например THGN132N), то при получении данных от них будет увеличиваться значение контрола "rx oregon", а веб-интерфейсе будут созданы соответствующие устройства с контролами, отображающими значения параметров датчика.
