Hi, which version of rtl_433 are you running?
I hope this https://sourceforge.net/p/my-house/forum/general/thread/a40ec9d764/?limit=25#830b is going to help fixing this issue as wel

[Aleksandar]

with version rtl_433 18.05 runs but for some reason it stops. in "json" search for the model and the channel. also if it requires "id" stops working or does not start at all

if I restart raspberry pi or reinstall install.py will continue to run

Would you mind sharing a sample of your rtl_433 output (run it with rtl_433 -F json -U) and the "plugin" section of your configured sensor? I think it is expecting a json and getting something else. Of course this is a bug on our side since myhouse has to handle to error gracefully and not dying... thanks!

Thansk, I was able to reproduce the issue. Since I'm moving the entire project over GitHub, this ticket has been migrated to https://github.com/myhouse-project/myHouse/issues/237
Feel free to have a look and if needed reply directly there.

Thanks!

14 hours running without stopping, for now it works well and with the change of frequency

[Aleksandar]

my proposal for rtl_433 plugin. if 2 or more frequencies are used, wait on one frequency until it receives information from the sensor, then proceed to the next preset frequency
