Re: [weewx-user] Periodic incorrect date from a Davis Vantage Pro 2

[P Black]

Tom,

Thank you.  It gives me some hope that the time warp will not be an issue 
with the new system.  The old used a Raspberry PI 3B with an added clock 
and the new is a RP5 with built-in clock.  I do use a battery backup and 
have not noticed any correlation to voltage drops and the date mix-up.  
Should have some time in the next couple weeks to load the software and 
begin transitioning the database.

Thanks,
Pat

Verify the ip address on your 'new' gateway is what is in weewx.conf

Are you using the auto setting in weewx.conf? If so try changing to the IP address of your gateway device.https://claydonsweather.org.ukOn 11 May 2024, at 11:10, Mitchell Tuckness  wrote:Does anyone have some ideas to help point me in the right direction on this?On Friday, May 10, 2024 at 8:47:25 AM UTC-6 Mitchell Tuckness wrote:Hi All,I could use some help.

this says weewx box is broadcasting query for any gw1000 devices to respond 
with their MAC address but no answer → make sure weewx box and gw1000 device on 
same lan
