Thanks for taking the time to respond. I have the console plugged in to wall current to try to avoid that very thing.

Thanks for help. I unplugged the USB as you suggested, and now it is reporting again!

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Webcam on a Raspberry Pi 3?
Thanks, Bill. I am not tech savvy enough to understand everything you said, but it sounds like it should work for me. I appreciate your time in answering this. I will check out eBay and see what they have.

[weewx-user] Re: Integration with Alexa
Has anyone had any success with the Amazon Echo with weewx data. I would like to be able to ask Alexa for the temperature, wind chill, how much rain we had today, etc. Would this be done with IFTTT? Thanks.

[weewx-user] Re: How do I edit the weewx.conf file?
OK, next question.
I checked on my iPhone and iPad WU app and it says my station has stopped
reporting.
BUT, on the WU website it is still connected and updating the data.
Any ideas?
I do have Rapidfire turned on. Could there be an issue with that/
Thanks again.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: How do I edit the weewx.conf file?
Success! Thanks for the help. My next question... any suggestions for the best way for an old guy to learn Python? Youtube? Favorite books? I have a bit of experience with BASIC from a long time ago. That's it. Thanks. On Wed, Jan 4, 2017 at 9:09 PM, Steve Dulmes <dul...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you, both, for the help.
