Goal: to use an OpenWrt capable router to receive wireless sensors reading and log them using OpenWrt luci-app-statistics module.
Why: because my router is always on anyway, so why not to use it to also log wireless sensors readings?

What is needed?
- A router (or any other device) with USB port(s) that is supported by OpenWrt
- A RTL-SDR dongle
- Wireless temperature/humidity sensors supported by the rtl_433 application
Note: I’m referring to the old OpenWrt project name,
which is currently called LEDE, which in turn will be called OpenWrt
again. It’s because of the nonsense they started some time ago by
forking the project and calling it LEDE because they couldn’t agree on
which side they should start counting bits. Some of them there
little-endians and the others big-endians. Finally they have agreed to
use both approaches and now they are busy merging everything back
together and use the good old name [sic!]. So the next release is
supposed to be called OpenWrt as their branch name suggest. At the moment this branch is not usable but maybe it will
be released at the end of the year. It is still not known which year
should it be…
