Sorry, I hit send before completing the post.... After stopping the service again, and invoking the wee_device --dump and wee_device --clear-memory commands, and then restarting weewx, it started working again. Both CWOP And WU are getting data. And while that's great, it's hinting at a reliability problem that had never existed until last month. Is there anything I can do to solve this permanently and get it back to the way it always was?
Conversely, is there any sort of black-box device or <something> that I can use to just send this info out without needing to play with Linux? I don't want to replace the weather station; the hardware outside is fine, but the the convoluted way it reports to WU and CWOP are a headache I don't want, especially if it's turning into a monthly circus.
