try 'sudo wee_device ...'

unless you modified the permissions on the usb device (using udev rules), 
you must have root privileges to write to the device.

sounds like you have a fine offset station with usb interface.  they will 
occasionally reset to factory defaults.  it seems to be caused by voltage 
changes on the usb, such as dips/surges from a flaky/underpowered power 
supply.

the utility wee_config_device was replaced by wee_device in weewx release 
3.2.  you can find this information in the 'from 3.1 or earlier' section of 
the upgrade guide:

This is in the hardware guide:
Configuring with wee_device Action --help 

Invoking wee_device  
with the --help option

wee_device */home*/weewx/weewx.conf --help

Anyway, I've upgraded, reset the weewx.conf file.

And this shows the problem:


Feb  2 16:50:21 Dummy-PC weewx[3717]: engine: The archive interval in the 
configuration file (300) does not match the station hardware interval 
(1800).
Feb  2 16:50:21 Dummy-PC weewx[3717]: engine: Using archive interval of 
1800 seconds (specified by hardware)

Trying to change to wee_device /etc/weewx/weewx.conf --set-interval=5

weewx.WeeWxIOError: could not claim interface 0: Operation not permitted

I have weewx stopped.
And this will be upsetting if I cannot reset this. This was the problem I 
had before, I could not change the interval, and eventually the unit 
crapped out. Bought the same thing, a WS-2095, and worked until this summer.

I'm going to post this and restart weewx and think about next steps which 
will include trash compactor.

  Installed: 3.1.0-1

I see it now. Give me an hour.

[weewx-user] Re: Checking versions, configurations

[Pat]

I'm a little confused and I think that comes from your confusion. Let's try 
to break it down and hopefully that'll help. 

It looks like you installed weewx using apt-get. So that would follow the 
file location layout for the apt-get installation. Click here and go all 
the way to the bottom . (Hint: weewx.conf 
is in /etc/weewx not /home/weewx for apt installs). 

The latest version is (today) 3.8.2 but 3.9.0 is being beta tested as we 
speak. To verify which version you have, run sudo apt policy weewx and 
paste the results.

Lastly, open /etc/weewx/weewx.conf, then find the [[Wunderground]] section. 
This is where you've defined the uploader information. As to why it's going 
every 30 minutes - I'm not sure. What is your archive_interval set to 
within weewx.conf? I think it may be tied together. Standard config for 
archive_interval is 300

You could also run:

sudo wee_debug /etc/weewx/weewx.conf --info 

and paste that here. Be extra careful that it censored all your passwords 
within before pasting.
