Hi, I just tried the new driver you attached, and it is working much better, as the archive records are now stored in the database :-)
However, there is still an issue, as you can see in this log extract: Apr 27 07:23:31 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: wmr200: MainThread: I Time drift between host and console in seconds:32 Apr 27 07:24:03 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: wmr200: MainThread: I genStartup() Still receiving archive packets cnt:0 len:1 Apr 27 07:24:03 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: wmr200: MainThread: I Using pc time adjusting archive record time by 32 sec 2017-04-27 09:18:00 CEST (1493277480) => 2017-04-27 09:18:32 CEST (1493277512) Apr 27 07:24:03 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: manager: Added record 2017-04-27 09:18:32 CEST (1493277512) to database 'weewx.sdb' Apr 27 07:24:04 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: manager: Added record 2017-04-27 09:18:32 CEST (1493277512) to daily summary in 'weewx.sdb' Apr 27 07:24:06 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: wmr200: MainThread: I genStartup() Still receiving archive packets cnt:1 len:1 Apr 27 07:24:06 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: wmr200: MainThread: I Using pc time adjusting archive record time by 32 sec 2017-04-27 09:19:00 CEST (1493277540) => 2017-04-27 09:19:32 CEST (1493277572) Apr 27 07:24:06 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: manager: Added record 2017-04-27 09:19:32 CEST (1493277572) to database 'weewx.sdb' Apr 27 07:24:06 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: manager: Added record 2017-04-27 09:19:32 CEST (1493277572) to daily summary in 'weewx.sdb' Apr 27 07:24:08 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: wmr200: MainThread: I genStartup() Still receiving archive packets cnt:2 len:1 Apr 27 07:24:08 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: wmr200: MainThread: I Using pc time adjusting archive record time by 32 sec 2017-04-27 09:20:00 CEST (1493277600) => 2017-04-27 09:20:32 CEST (1493277632) Apr 27 07:24:08 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: manager: Added record 2017-04-27 09:20:32 CEST (1493277632) to database 'weewx.sdb' Apr 27 07:24:08 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: manager: Added record 2017-04-27 09:20:32 CEST (1493277632) to daily summary in 'weewx.sdb' Apr 27 07:24:11 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: wmr200: MainThread: I genStartup() Still receiving archive packets cnt:3 len:1 Apr 27 07:24:11 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: wmr200: MainThread: I Using pc time adjusting archive record time by 32 sec 2017-04-27 09:21:00 CEST (1493277660) => 2017-04-27 09:21:32 CEST (1493277692) Apr 27 07:24:11 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: manager: Added record 2017-04-27 09:21:32 CEST (1493277692) to database 'weewx.sdb' Apr 27 07:24:12 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: manager: Added record 2017-04-27 09:21:32 CEST (1493277692) to daily summary in 'weewx.sdb' Apr 27 07:24:13 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: wmr200: MainThread: I genStartup() Still receiving archive packets cnt:4 len:1 Apr 27 07:24:13 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: wmr200: MainThread: I Using pc time adjusting archive record time by 32 sec 2017-04-27 09:22:00 CEST (1493277720) => 2017-04-27 09:22:32 CEST (1493277752) Apr 27 07:24:13 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: manager: Added record 2017-04-27 09:22:32 CEST (1493277752) to database 'weewx.sdb' Apr 27 07:24:13 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: manager: Added record 2017-04-27 09:22:32 CEST (1493277752) to daily summary in 'weewx.sdb' Apr 27 07:24:15 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: wmr200: MainThread: I genStartup() Still receiving archive packets cnt:5 len:1 Apr 27 07:24:15 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: wmr200: MainThread: I Using pc time adjusting archive record time by 32 sec 2017-04-27 09:23:00 CEST (1493277780) => 2017-04-27 09:23:32 CEST (1493277812) Apr 27 07:24:15 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: manager: Added record 2017-04-27 09:23:32 CEST (1493277812) to database 'weewx.sdb' Apr 27 07:24:15 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: manager: Added record 2017-04-27 09:23:32 CEST (1493277812) to daily summary in 'weewx.sdb' Apr 27 07:26:16 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: wmr200: MainThread: I genStartup() phase exiting since looks like all archive packets have been retrieved after 120 sec cnt:6 Apr 27 07:26:16 raspiMeteo rsyslogd-2007: action 'action 17' suspended, next retry is Thu Apr 27 07:27:46 2017 [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2007 ] Apr 27 07:26:16 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: wmr200: MainThread: I genStartup() Yielded 6 packets in 300 sec between these dates 2017-04-27 09:18:32 CEST (1493277512) ==> 2017-04-27 09:23:32 CEST (1493277812) Apr 27 07:26:16 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: wmr200: MainThread: I genStartup() Average packets per minute:1.200000 Apr 27 07:26:16 raspiMeteo weewx[4406]: engine: Starting main packet loop.

The archive interval is 60 seconds. It started to process the archive records correctly, the last one having a timestamp of 09:23:32 CEST (highlighted in green above). Then it waited 2 minutes to ensure that no more archive records are present, before entering the main packet loop. Then the first live record to be processed has a timestamp of 09:27:00 CEST (highlighted in yellow above). This means that all the live packets generated by the weather station during the archive processing and the 2 minutes delay were simply discarded. I did a query on the archive table, and I have indeed a gap in the timestamps: 2017-04-27 09:15:00 2017-04-27 09:16:00 2017-04-27 09:17:00 2017-04-27 09:18:32 2017-04-27 09:19:32 2017-04-27 09:20:32 2017-04-27 09:21:32 2017-04-27 09:22:32 2017-04-27 09:23:32 2017-04-27 09:27:00 2017-04-27 09:28:00 2017-04-27 09:29:00 This seems strange to me, especially as I remember having seen, during my first tests where I had a lot of archive records, messages in the output indicating that the live packets were put in a queue to be processed later. And when I stopped WeeWX, I had this in the log: Apr 25 12:45:40 raspiMeteo weewx[597]: wmr200: Thread-1: I Watchdog thread exiting Apr 25 12:45:40 raspiMeteo weewx[597]: wmr200: MainThread: I Watchdog thread expired Apr 25 12:45:40 raspiMeteo weewx[597]: wmr200: MainThread: I Received packet count live:281 archive:218 control:30 Apr 25 12:45:40 raspiMeteo weewx[597]: wmr200: MainThread: I Received bytes:119760 sent bytes:2320 Apr 25 12:45:40 raspiMeteo weewx[597]: wmr200: MainThread: I Packet archive queue len:0 live queue len:281 Apr 25 12:45:40 raspiMeteo weewx[597]: wmr200: MainThread: W Exiting with packets still in live queue cnt:281 Apr 25 12:45:40 raspiMeteo weewx[597]: wmr200: MainThread: I Driver gracefully exiting Apr 25 12:45:40 raspiMeteo weewx[597]: engine: Keyboard interrupt. This seems to indicate that it is possible for WeeWX to temporarily store the live packets while processing the archive records, but for some reasons it is no more the case... In any case, the situation is now much better, so a *big thank you* for your help!
