Re: [weewx-user] How to set WeeWx to restart after local network returns from being offline

I use the (sometimes much maligned) systemd and have in there that it must (re)start after the NFS network drive that I use (the system is a RPi4 with the SD card is set to be Read Only and in-memory logging) is fully mounted. Just an alternative approach perhaps (or 'belts and braces') Susan

The broadcast mask needs to match the way your subnet is defined. You originally had the subnet responding to the bottom octet of the IP address only but then expanded it to the bottom 2 octets. Therefore the broadcast message would have only gone to a small part of your expanded network.

In the weewx.conf file, you can uncomment the 'ip_address_mask' line and set it to whatever is the correct address mask for your network. The HP1000 code must be running on a computer that is on the same network sub-net as the weather console. Setting the 'ip_address_mask' overrides the
