first of all, be sure that you are running the latest te923 driver. the te923 driver that comes with weewx 3.5.0 is *not* the latest. if you install using .deb or .rpm, you can have only one weewx installation on a computer (or vm, or whatever), but you can run any number of instances of weewx. if you install using setup.py, you can have any number of weewx installations on a computer, and you can run any number of instances of weewx. if you plan to run different versions of weewx concurrently, or if you want to easily change back and forth from one version to another, then you must use the setup.py approach. m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
