Hi Matthew thank you for the detailed explanation. As I am using the kl.py to survey the climate in my house together with a heatpump contolled by a solution from https://www.ta.co.at/ each update of weewx brings some surprizes :-) But I am still convinced that Keffers application is a very good

[weewx-user] Unplanned upgrade from 4.10.2 to 5.0.1 broke it all...

I had a working system with 4.10.2, and I had planned to leave it that way, but somehow, weewx slipped into an "apt-get upgrade" this morning and 5.0.1 got installed. I'm (or at least I was) using the GW1100 driver and the Belchertown 1.2 skin. I've tried downgrading back to 4.10.2, but I thin

I nearly did that as well, I thought you had to add a new repository for apt-get to pick up the new version, or is it in the original one now? I take it you don't have a backup of your working 4.10.2 install? I have a simple cron job that copies all the various WeeWx locations and files to the

Rich, One other question: does this happen after a reboot? Or, every time? If it's only after a reboot, the problem could be that the network isn't ready by the time the VP2 needs it. On Tue, Feb 6, 2024 at 7:51 PM Rich Strle wrote: > I've been following the 5.0 issues. I have updated to 5.0.

Something to try: edit the weewx service file and change permissions back to root. The service file should be located at /lib/systemd/system/weewx.service. Comment out the User and Group lines. When you're done, it will look something like this: [Service] ExecStart=weewxd /etc/weewx/weewx.conf S
