Without providing logs, there is little we can do to read your mind.

 

This script works on a 'clean' pi to install weewx+interceptor using the dpkg 
and install interceptor over v5 weewx.   You'll have to manually edit 
weewx.conf to set the listening port to match your station's setup (this 
example uses 8000) and then you'll need to restart weewx to make it take 
effect. 

 

Unfortunately I don't have any gear to listen to, so I can't test it 
completely, but weewx 'does' run the interceptor and it 'does' listen on the 
specified port.

 

#-- install weewx using the dpkg installation method

sudo apt install -y wget gnupg
wget -qO - https://weewx.com/keys.html | \
sudo gpg --dearmor --output /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/weewx.gpg

echo "deb [arch=all] https://weewx.com/apt/python3 buster main" | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list

sudo apt update
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt install -y weewx

#--- install interceptor and hook into weewx
sudo apt-get install -y libpcap-dev
sudo python3 -m pip install libpcap pypcap --break-system-packages
sudo weectl extension install 
https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-interceptor/archive/master.zip
sudo weectl station reconfigure --no-prompt --driver=user.interceptor

#--- add weewx to all the groups typical 'pi' is
# which should permit binding to non-privileged ports
for g in adm dialout cdrom sudo audio video plugdev games users input render 
netdev gpio i2c spi
do
  sudo usermod -aG $g weewx
done

#--- manual steps to do to complete the installation are below

#
# sudo vi /etc/weewx.conf
#   and add "listen = 8000" to the Interceptor section
#   and run "sudo systemctl restart weewx" to restart weewx
#
# sudo tail /var/log/syslog should show weewx log entries
# or alternately "sudo journalctl -xe -u weewx" to do it that way

Thank you all for your help on this.

 

I am still struggling unfortunately, and not understanding what I am doing 
wrong. Nor, to be honest, not understanding what I am doing? I am not a 
programmer, and I am just following what others have written verbatim. So when 
it fails I don't know why? It would be great to have a Step-by-step guide, even 
though the Help pages are very informative, it doesn't alter the fact that I 
don't know what I don't know. Sort of like learning to drive a car without 
having a car, if you get what I mean? This must he frustrating for you all too?

 

The Android app that I use is WS View Plus;


  

 

I kept getting Timeout Errors when trying to get the "Customized" set to Port 
8080. But I managed to get it set to Port 8000 as suggested elsewhere. I also 
had Timeout Errors when trying to set the Path, but it seems to like the Path 
set as "/". Again as suggested elswhere. At some point I did get it set to Path 
8000.


  

 

 

But I am still struggling trying to get the Interceptor to install? Whether I 
am in the wrong Folder, or the respective part of the Installation is in the 
wrong Folder, or I am not in Root, or whatever else Error I get, I am unable to 
resolve the issue. 

 

I think eventually the penny will drop, and it will "click" as to what I am 
reading, and I will suddenly see what I am doing wrong. But when sat in front 
of the Keyboard and Screen on my own, without anyone to guide me, or anyone 
else to soundboard off of, this is a bit of a learning curve. But that's half 
of the fun! When I get it working correctly I'll let you all know .

I have a Raspberry PI connected by ethernet to the same network that my

The interceptor section of my weewx.conf file has (between the  only):

When you enter https://www.weather365.net, you got infographics that this site 
is closed since 31.12.2020 and it automatically redirects to 
https://meteo-services.com - is this the site you are looking for?

 

WHOIS for meteoservices.com:

 

Updated Date: 2023-07-20T05:35:03Z
Creation Date: 2002-07-26T00:00:00Z

Registrar Registration Expiration Date: 2024-07-25T00:00:00Z

Registrar: Eurodns S.A.

 

So probably this site expired and registrar "intercept" it. Maybe someone 
forgot to extend the validity of domain or just abandoned it.

Was there any kind of an announcement that went out - for either?

[rkludington]

Well here are the two attempts…. All the other extensions worked fine for me (I 
did have to use sudo for those as well) but they were all zip files. As this 
one is a ‘tar.gz’ am I missing the utility for doing so on my rpi maybe? – or I 
was searching around and is it possible someone tried to compress it twice?

If you did a package install of weewx, try "sudo wee_extension --install 
weewx-previmeteo-v0.1.tar.gz", assuming you are in the same working directory 
as the .tar.gz file

 

If you did a setup.py install of weewx, it would be "sudo

It may take a little while for the station to appear.

 

Make sure you have an entry for option "station_url" as well. It is necessary 
for station registration.
