Hi all,
I have finally had success with getting my Ambient Weather WS-2902 somewhat
communicating with Weewx. I used the Ambient Weather API driver and it
seems to be running. However, it isn't receiving any data back. There seems
to be something about it not getting any device information. Would anybody
know what this means:

It seems to be returning nothing and skipping packet builds. In the API
driver I just have the API Key filled in because I couldn't find anywhere
to get an Ambient Weather API App Key. Would anyone know where to obtain
this? (if it's even necessary) This is how I have the driver set up in
weewx.conf:
##############################################################################
