Tchibo 287717 Weather Station Signal Decoding

Product Details

  • Name: Tchibo Funk-Wetterstation
  • Model: 287717
  • Frequency (indicated): 434 MHz
  • Powered by two 1.5V AAA batteries
  • Contains thermometer and hygrometer

Signal

Sensor transmits an OOK-modulated 1-second-long signal approximately once every 5 minutes on 433.85 MHz.

Recorded with gqrx via RTL2832U/R820T (433.79 MHz, AM): image image

After conversion to binary signal: image

Decoding

Signal has a pulse distance encoding.

Each transmission contains 6 repeats of the same message.

Each messages consists of 42 bits.

Low-bits have a pause length of approximately 1.5ms, high-bits 3.5ms: pulse length pulse length

Greatest common divisor: pulse length divisor

We recorded a few transmissions (recordings/*.wav) and compared the received data with the values indicated on the display (displayed-values.yml).
