Hi, You have a lot of moving parts there and I think the best approach is to work through sensor to output. Once you understand what is going on and why you can decide what you do/do not want to do about it.
Your device will be sending the same wind obs to WeeWX and the Meteobridge. I can't speak for the Meteobridge but you are right in that you can control the wind direction within WeeWX when windSpeed is zero through use of the ignore_zero_wind config option. The ignore_zero_wind config option is nothing to do with the interceptor driver, rather once WeeWX has a packet from the interceptor driver WeeWX will check the ignore_zero_wind setting and if it is True (the default) windDir will be set to the python value None if windSpeed is zero. If ignore_zero_wind is False On Wednesday, 22 July 2020 at 03:57:43 UTC+10 wa4...@gmail.com wrote: > I need assistance to figure out where to look for a problem with > "ignore_zero_wind".
