Thanks again Tom... archive_interval was set to 300 seconds in weewx.conf but overridden by VantagePro2's hardware setting (which I have no idea how to change)... so I simply used your suggested "wee_device --set-interval=5" and got it all set up 'more better'
I also did some reading and found that my Pro-2's wireless console was WAY WAY backleveled on firmware (version 1.9 instead of current 3.15) so I upgraded that as well. Finally, I did use your "wee_utility --clear-memory" but it gave me an error message "UNKNOWN HARDWARE TYPE 79" in return, so I did it the old fashioned way and unplugged/removed-batteries for 5 minutes, and rebooted Raspberry-Pi. SYSLOG looks dramatically different now, and WEEWX is putting out 4 years worth of updates, saying "STARTING BACKFILL OF DAILY SUMMARIES". Already seeing sites like AWEKAS and PWS showing updates (though they're from 2013 and slowly coming forward), so I have my fingers crossed that these minor changes have solved my problem. Tom, YOU DA MAN!! Thanks mucho! On Wednesday, December 6, 2017 at 1:50:44 PM UTC-6, Tom Keffer wrote: > > Two things: > > Your archive interval is pretty long: 30 minutes.
