Greetings! Thank you for logging these steps last year: 1. I logged as root ('sudo -i' from 'pi' account) 2. generated SSH keys ('ssh-keygen') 3. copied them to external server ('ssh-copy-id ace...@external.domain.com -p 222') 4. copied /home/pi/.ssh/config to

Hello! Every so often, my home network (through eero) will upgrade causing devices to go offline/lose connection for a few minutes. The last two times my eero/network was updated in the early morning, WeeWx stopped when the connection was lost (expected). I cannot find how to set WeeWx to
