At the top of weewx.conf add "loop_on_init = True" to have it try basically
continually. Until 5.1 comes out you'll need to grab an updated weewxd.py
and overwrite your existing 5.x copy of that file so the option works.
The latest version is at
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/weewx/weewx/master/src/weewxd.py if you
want to grab it sooner rather than later.
Worked for me here vs. the ecowitt driver under similar circumstances when
I needed to take my network offline for a bit to update firmware on the
network gear....
