I thought I added a note to the effect, but it seems I have not. If you have installed both the weewx-steelseries and weewx-realtime_gauge-data extensions you should disable the weewx-steelseries generation of gauge-data.txt and delete from your web server and WeeWX machine any gauge-data.txt files previously generated by weewx-steelseries. Whilst the presence of gauge-data.txt from two different sources will not cause any WeeWX or web server errors per se, many users have experienced some weird/unexpected effects if the 'wrong' file is used by the SteelSeries gauges or the files overwrite each other on the WeeWX machine or web server. In my experience it is better to only have one gauge-data.txt source active at any one time.
