any progress on this? i have a new second ISS tracked on a different VM, dip switch ch2, but “weectl device —set-transmitter-type=2,0” does not work according to “weectl device —info” and weewx on the diff VM is collecting data from the old ISS ch1 not the new one. i cannot use pannetron’s workaround (use a PC to change it) as i don’t have a PC. happy to use “screen” to manually type in the config change, if needs be
