what happens when you run the interceptor directly, something like this:

[weewx-user] MQTT extension enable option.

[HoracioDos]

Hello!
I added a new option in mqtt extension to enable or disable it. It seems to 
work fine but I don't know if I did it the proper way. I didn't find any 
repo in github, so i post it here.
Thanks

[weewx-user] Re: Can MISOL station work with weewx, suggest me one

[Douglas Krug]

If you have the Observer IP module, this is very simple. I did this with my 
Ambient Weather Observer IP (same as MISOL as both are made by Fine Offset, 
just different firmware), just follow "Method 2" here on Pat O'Brien's blog 
7 . 
All you need is an inexpensive router compatible with DD-WRT and the 
patience to flash its firmware. You can stop at the end of Pat's 
instructions before getting to "Accepting the data on your server". That 
bit is unnecessary. Once I did this. it was simple to redirect WU data that 
I was uploading from my Observer IP module to Weewx. Since this method uses 
the WU upload data, it doesn't matter which firmware version the Observer 
IP bridge is using.
