Hi Gary, Thanks for that. You are indeed right. The sensor details were there in weewx.conf, but the header [[sensor_map]]was missing. I have added it in now and restarted weewx and it is working. https://www.windguru.cz/station/2146 This is a very interesting situation and now that i think

[weewx-user] Re: weewx has been working for months but it's suddely offline

OK. So when run directly rtl_433 runs as expected. I appreciate that running WeeWX directly resulted in no output, I suspect that is due to the sdr driver (for one reason or another) not providing WeeWX with any loop packets (the only console output you will get when running WeeWX is loop

Sean, A few suggestions. First, don’t reformat and reinstall. From the log it is pretty clear that something is causing rtl_433 to fail when run under WeeWX. Let’s work through the sdr setup process again to make sure sdr is (still) setup correctly. You said when run from the command line thee

Something else I forgot to mention: weewx sending loop packets to mqtt works fine, by many reports on this list, as does other things getting those reports. However, with Home Assistant, what you do is construct a sensor of type mqtt, and that sensor sees an udpated value every time it receives
