Agree. Also thanks for the reminder re: wee_config --reconfigure. I had not seen magic buried in a driver that asked questions when you reconfigure. That kinda blows up scripted installs to some extent for folks like me who use --no-prompt a lot. These might be nits but I thought I'd mention

I think the install instructions are clear and concise. At the end of the day if you choose not to follow them a degree of caveat emptor applies. I believe the current loop_on_init setting is appropriate and see no need to change it (experience shows if I did then the ‘stop polluting my logs’ b

I had the same issue like Vince the other day - and loop_on_init hadn't been set by the install script... I assume it's to set in the [GW1000] stanza - that's where I added it now. Forwarded Message Subject: [weewx-user] Re: gw1000 driver fail on

That would explain the behaviour then, if loop_on_init is not set the loss of connectivity with the station (for whatever reason) will cause WeeWX to exit as it does with any other driver. I will make a point of pulling the network on my GW1000 and confirming the driver and loop_on_init work as

(unsure if this blasted google groups new interface ate my draft reply - grr...) loop_on_init was not set at all, so it's sure acting like the default is False. I'll define it as True for the next time, which hopefully won't need testing for a long time Thanks. On Sunday, December 27,

Vince, Thank you. From memory the driver should retry continuously when the network returns if loop_on_init = True in weewx.conf (though I am not sure I tested this by turning of my network). Can you confirm the loop_on_init setting at the time? Gary On Monday, 28 December 2020 at 03:54:33 UT
