If the 'setup up my sdr / rtl_433' was done in via the [SDR] [[sensor_map]] stanza in weewx.conf then all you were doing was limiting what sensor data is passed onto WeeWX in loop packets; the SDR driver would still have processed all sensor packets provided by rtl_433, but only those that match the sensors defined in the [SDR] [[sensor_map]] are included in loop packets. There is a typo in line 2690 of the SDR driver version you are using, and if it receives any more PrologueTH packets from rtl_433 it will fail and cause WeeWX to exit. I am no rtl_433 expert, but you may be able to configure rtl_433 to ignore the PrologueTH packets and not pass them to SDR and avoid the error that way, but I suspect fixing the typo in sdr.py will be easier.
