Receiving other 868MHz traffic?

Is it possible to receive traffic from other 868MHz nodes with the RFM12b, such as wireless temperature sensors which connect to a weather station?

Yes. Probably easiest using a JeeLink (An RFM12B and Arduino in a USB dongle). Have a look on the forums on the JeeLabs website, there are a few examples.

In particular I would suggest to read up on http://jeelabs.net/projects/cafe/wiki/Receiving_OOKASK_with_a_modified_RFM12B

 

There is also a discussion ongoing on the Arduino forum on reading wireless temperature sensors:

Thanks. Was a bit more work to it than I would have hoped, so I think it will be a later project. I think it would be possible to read out the data from the weather station as well, it has an USB port :)
