I probably contacted from some wrong place. Anyway, I was able to contact 
them tonight and the problem is exactly what you said and what's explained 
on the website you cited before.

So I will have to get this Mfg code from the console and logger and if 
needed I will ask our local reseller to exchange the logger.

They also assured me that we can use any third-party software to get data 
from the station.

Thank you for your help,
kind regards.

Thank you for your help.

Just to be sure, could you define "console" dans "logger" ? You mean the 
adapter cable we put inside could be a version which is not working with 
the weather station ?

I wrote to Davis, but I still didn't get any answer.

Kind regards.

[weewx-user] Weewx 3.9.1 and Vantage Pro 2

[Alexis Domjan]

Hi,

We have multiple Vantage Pro 2 we bought several years ago. We're using 
vproweather which works pretty well.

However, the last station we bought seems to be slightly different and we 
can't get it work with vproweather, so I had a look on Weewx, installed 
version 3.9.1 and tried it. 

But I see the same issue. Basically any command sent to the Vantage Pro 2 
ends with: SECURED-LOGGER FAILED.

So when I start Weewx daemon, it says:

Jun  3 22:58:09 solar1 weewx[2715]: vantage: Gentle wake up of console 
successful
Jun  3 22:58:09 solar1 weewx[2715]: vantage: No  received from console

And indeed it doesn't get a ACK but the string: SECURED-LOGGER FAILED.

I read a thread here: 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/weewx-user/SECURED%7Csort:date/weewx-user/1FOCgQqFZtM/IZ4-0Q5uEAAJ
 


It is exactly the same problem I encounter. Sadly, the solution isn't 
documented.

It is like if Davis included some kind of authentication or something like 
this and we are not allowed to use it something else than their Windows 
software.

Would anyone have any idea about this issue ?

Thank you,
kind regards.
