You of course are correct! Adding a USB dongle would also mean adding a USB hub so a nice “small box with only Davis console connection” becomes more grand. Not impossible but not something I want to do. Regards, Garry Lockyer C: +1.250.689.0686 E: ga...@lockyer.ca > On Apr 2, 2021, at

Off on a tangent... Not impossible to use wired internet with a Pi Zero. You just need a USB to Ethernet dongle. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-USB-Ethernet-Network-Adapter/dp/B00M77HLII I don't have this one exactly, but a similar one. For my application I needed a USB adaptor from the

In the absence of a detailed description of your setup, what problem you are trying to solve, and why you think you need to touch weewx at all after it starts up, there's nothing we can do to help you here.You're jumping to a conclusion that you have to touch something, but you've given us

Thanks for the advice. I will forego using PM2, or any other process manager, at this time, and give "netmon.sh" a try. But! Re: "if you can figure out a way to tell when (if) you need to touch weewx at all." that's why I was hoping to use something like PM2 'casue it seems to me they

Sorry for late response. Using a RPi Zero W so no chance to use wire. In fact, virtually no chance to make any changes to network at remote site. Regards, Garry On Sunday, March 28, 2021 at 1:03:52 PM UTC-7 tomn...@frontier.com wrote: > Hi Gary, esp. in a remote location like that, can you

See if https://github.com/vinceskahan/raspi-odds-and-ends/blob/master/netmon.sh helps you any for trying to self-heal your wifi. I haven't run it in years since I fixed my home wifi setup by switching to Ubiquiti gear and essentially out-radiating the badly configured neighbors, but it used

Hi Gary, esp. in a remote location like that, can you use ethernet instead of wi-fi? I ran into a similar problem recently with an RPi-zero that was losing wi-fi, even though it's right across the room with nothing in between. From what I found researching solutions, in some cases, it takes

Totally agree with your comments. I’m trying to handle network and remote server issues for a station I don’t have remote access to, and sometimes (depending on time of year) have to wait a few days before I can go onsite. So I am trying to handle conditions external to WeeWX. One issue is

I don't know anything about PM2, but it would be useful to know where you're trying to get. Weewx is extremely stable and can literally run for years without rebooting. If it is crashing, it would be better to fix that problem, rather than use a process manager. On Sun, Mar 28, 2021 at 11:11 AM

PM2 (https://pm2.keymetrics.io/) is a process manager often associated with node.js apps written in Java Script. It can also manage processes written in Python (see: https://pm2.io/blog/2018/09/19/Manage-Python-Processes). I was not able to get PM2 working with WeeWX - has anyone got it going?
