Hi

Thank to All and your good suggestions.

I have configured a static IP-address for the GW1000 and the RPI. I have 
also rebooted the RPI and the Gateway and now it seems to work again.

Thanks again.

Gert

The error shows that the driver could not contact your GW1000 for some 
reason, once the driver had everything required to connect to the GW1000 
the GW1000 did not respond. It could have happened for any number of 
reasons; the GW1000 driver may have been using an incorrect address when 
trying to connect to the GW1000,  the GW1000 may have changed address or 
the network may have experienced a problem. Impossible to say more without 
knowing exact config details both of the driver and your GW1000/network 
config. 

Things to try. You could set loop_on_init = True 
 in weewx.conf so that WeeWX 
will wait 60 seconds when the driver fails to load and then try again. If 
the issue is transient in nature this may work but if it is something more 
permanent then it likely will just cause WeeWX to loop indefinitely. You 
could try configuring your network such that the GW1000 uses a static IP 
rather than having the GW1000 driver locate the GW1000 via network 
broadcast.

Always a good idea to reserve a static address via your router, even if the 
computer/station works via DHCP.

Note - the gw1000 will reboot if it fails to reach the Ecowitt servers (or 
a NTP server) too often or for too long a period.  They have a couple 
watchdog timers in the firmware that can't be turned off.  While it can be 
faked on your LAN to prevent this, the gateway will still reboot if you 
lose your home wifi for too long, as it thinks lack of connectivity to 
Ecowitt means the hardware needs to reboot itself (which is not true of 
course, but they do what they do I guess...)

I saw this today, too.
For some reason weewx can't contact your GW1000.  Without the GW1000 
connecting weewx won't start.
Either the wrong IP in weewx.config, or the GW1000 needs to be set up 
(again?) on your WiFi.
If you haven't already assigned the GW1000 a static IP in your router, now 
is a good time.
