Re: Home Weather Measurement - Need Options

["b_weijenberg" <b_weijenberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

RFXCOM has a USB 433.92MHz receiver for X10 and Oregon Scientific
combined. A second 310MHz US X10 receiver or a Visonic receiver can be
added into the same USB interface. See the download page at
www.rfxcom.com for detailed information.

There are Linux systems running with the RFXCOM receiver. Check
www.domoticaforum.eu

The RFXCOM receiver has also a 32 bits W800 compatible mode but in this
mode only Oregon temperature sensors can be received. In the variable
length mode most (and I suppose ALL) Oregon sensors can be received.
