Receive P2000 events using Home Assistant and your RTL-SDR dongle.

An all-in-one add-on for receiving P2000 events from the air, filter them as you like and update sensors with detailed information.

This add-on is based on my standalone project called 'RTL-SDR-P2000Receiver-HA' which had been created to run on a seperate Linux device, it was rewritten as an Hassio add-on, I left out unneeded code, added MQTT autoconfigure and optimized it.

It comes out of the box with the following features:

• Standalone P2000 messages receiver using a local RTL-SDR compatible receiver
• Support for a large number of RTL-SDR dongles models
• Automatic MQTT sender configuration and device discovery/creation
• Global text and capcode filter options
• Unlimited number of sensors and filters (as long as hardware resources can handle it)
• Includes detailed capcode and city names database created from data on https://www.tomzulu10capcodes.nl and http://p2000.bommel.net
• Code to guess and complete as much address data as possible
• Geocode functionality using https://opencagedata.com to get rough lat/long location and maps links, fetched data is stored for future use.

The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in comparison to installing any other add-on.

1. Add my add-ons repository to your home assistant instance
   (in supervisor addons store at top right, or click button below if you have configured my HA)
   
2. Install this add-on.
3. Click the Save button to store your configuration.
4. Set the add-on options to your preferences (see documentation tab after installation)
5. Start the add-on.
6. Check the logs of the add-on to see if everything went well.

Make sure your RTL-SDR dongle is inserted in the Home assistant device.
Place your antenna in a good location near the window, or even outside.

If you don't see the wanted result, consider setting verbosity to 'debug' and restart.
Don't leave verbosity debug enabled for a long time, since it logs a lot of data, and can wear out your storage devices.
