I am running weewx and Belchertown on an older rpi 3 model B version 1.2. Cheetah takes around 20 seconds to generate the Belchertown reports. Time for new hardware? On Sunday, November 1, 2020 at 10:32:27 AM UTC-8 vince wrote: > On Sunday, November 1, 2020 at 9:52:51 AM UTC-8, T Reid wrote:

As I feared, the problem is not fixed. The lag between the posting of MQTT records by weewx and the current time has wandered all over the place over the past two days. It has gone from dead on time to 1.5 hours behind, and everything in between. Last night it was doing okay, this morning it w

Greg, I am not ready to declare victory yet, but after restarting my mosquitto broker, I let weewx keep running and overnight the MQTT loop records gradually caught up! Not all at once, but over time you could see the delay shrinking. All day today, the display has been pretty much spot on.

I am using the MQTT add-in to pipe real time loop entries from my Davis Vantage Pro into the Belchertown skin, using the standard instructions for that skin. It generally works great. But every couple of days the MQTT feed will fall behind, sometimes by as much as an hour or more. To fix it,
