UPDATE: 1. The bad news: I tried to solve this by upgrading my OS on my Raspberry Pi from Raspbian stretch to Raspbian buster in the hope that this might reset everyting and solve the IP-errors, and also made python 3 the preferred python version, as I read that this is preferred for weewx

Hi David, As for stopping weewx, kill 535 will work, but systemd will likely restart it very soon. I ran into an similar issue the other day with systemd. In this case it was for NUT (ups monitoring stuff). The systemctl stop didn't stop the daemon (same message you got). I ended up disa

Sorry - we can't fix your network. Lots of legacy embedded type 2.4GHz wifi things have issues staying on the network and stable. I'd suggest you try to see if your wifi is being interfered with from a neighbor perhaps. Maybe you can switch which channel your wifi is on. FWIW, we have too m

Tom - that is correct. I don’t seem to be able to browse to the device. I type its IP address into a browser on my Windows PC on the same network and nothing happens. I can access the console via the weatherlink software, but don’t see anywhere where I can disable weatherlink uploads. David. On

Just to clarify, you have a Davis 6555 WeatherlinkIP, right? Before buying new equipment, I'd focus on Jacque's suggestion to disable any transmissions to weatherlink.com from the device. You should be able to browse to the device and get an option to turn the transmissions off. On Fri, Dec 8, 2

Since you have a RaspberryPi, you may also consider buying a "Meteo-pi" instead of a WifiLogger2 - see https://wifilogger.net/meteopi.html The datalogger card is plugged to the console and the HAT card is plugged to the 40-pin header of the RPI and both are linked with a RJ11 cable : no more n

Many thanks for these suggestions. Regarding 1. how do I connect to the datalogger in order to uncheck the "Upload to weatherlink" option? If the weatherlink upload is causing the conflict, I am not clear why this would suddenly start being an issue, but certainly worth trying. On 2, no, I don'

David, I have 2 suggestions about your network problems with your IP datalogger : 1. By default, the IP datalogger will periodically send sensor real-time data and datalogger archive data to weatherlink.com servers. Weewx needs exclusive access to the IP datalogger. You may try to disa

That's certainly possible. I'd say ask Davis, but this logger has been so long out of production that I doubt David would get any satisfaction out of them. I'm also suspicious when electronic devices "just break." That's very rare. But, it does happen. One thing you could try: reseating the logge
