That station (using the ip100 driver) does not support hardware record generation, so WeeWX will fall back on software record generation. If you are still getting 5 minute updates despite setting archive_interval to 120, then one of two things is happening:
1. weewxd is using a different configuration file than you think it is; or 2. You didn't restart weewxd after changing the value. If neither of those are true, then we will need to see the log. Set debug=1, restart weewx, post the log from startup through the first reporting cycle. tk On Thu, Feb 4, 2021 at 5:41 PM Tim <timslamb...@comcast.net> wrote: > Tom, > > The station is a RainWise MK-III with an IP-100. > > Regards, > > Tim > > Sent from my Hi-Tech Etch-A-Sketch > > > On Feb 4, 2021, at 14:20, Tom Keffer <tkef...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > You didn't say what kind of weather station you are using, but for > stations that support hardware logging and if you specify hardware record > generation, then weewx will use the interval specified in your hardware. > > If this is the case, then to change use the wee_device utility with the > --set-interval option.
