# rtl_433 examples

You likely need to filter and transform rtl_433's output before sending it to a database.
It's recommended you read the JSON data and process it to your specific requirements.

Some example pipes/relays for rtl_433 JSON data. Should work with Python 2 and also Python 3.

The `pipe` examples read JSON output from `rtl_433` using a pipe, i.e.

    rtl_433 -F json ... | rtl_433_statsd_pipe.py

The `relay` examples consumes the (UDP) Syslog output from rtl_433 (or a legacy plain JSON datagram).
Basically run `rtl_433` with `-F syslog:127.0.0.1:1433` and the relay script as an unrelated process, i.e.

    rtl_433_mqtt_relay.py &
    rtl_433 -F syslog:127.0.0.1:1433
