This has come up before.  The straightforward approach doesn’t work, so you’ll have to use the workaround here:


Note: the above is written with the weewx 5 command weectl.  You’ll have to substitute wee_device for weectl.

I'm having trouble getting my system (Vue sensor package, regular Davis console, weewx on a Raspberry Pi) to use transmitter channel 2.

My station, installed several years ago, has some new neighbors. To avoid all of us using the default channel 1, I changed mine to use channel 2. I changed the channel on the sensor package and the ISS channel in the weewx.conf file. From the console I verified that it was receiving from channel 2 (though I only waited long enough to see the channel show up for one packet).

Somewhere along the way the console seemed to be taking data from someone using channel 1 instead of channel 2. I know because that sensor package runs out of (solar) battery shortly before dawn every day, and comes up again shortly after dawn. This can't be my station as I just inserted a new CR123 battery in the sensor package this week. The station is at a vacation home so I'm only there sporadically.

I login to the Pi remotely and have tried several commands to force the console to pay attention to channel 2 instead of 1. You can see the whole session in the attached log. I seem to have succeeded in deactivating channel 1, but it still shows as an ISS station, and nothing for channel 2. I've restarted the weewx server a couple of times but I seem to only get data from channel 1, which I believe is not my station.

Any thoughts on how to go about debugging this further or fixing it would be very much appreciated.
