(Busy weekend - I hope to get a 'first cut' version out shortly) I'm using the SETUP packet to get the units. At the moment I only read that packet when the driver start (i.e. if you change anything on the console you would need to 'bounce' Weewx to pick them up) but in principle there is nothing to stop you making this query each time around the loop or every so often.
The 'choice of units' I was talking about was more the 'usunits' item in the packet.
