By mistake I sent this reply only to the OPer - now forward also to the
group for information and documentation
It's a common mistake when using the custom server function of a Fine
Offset (clone) console in ecowitt protocol
to leave the path entry in the WSView app empty.
Even though weewx (the interceptor driver) doesn't care about any path,
the console still does.
If there is no entry at all, the console will not post !!!
Therefore at least "/" without "" has to be entered into the path field
in the WSView app.
This is for weewx.
When posting via custom server function to a web site, the path has to
be meaningful and point to the HTML or www root of the server
respectively the path from there where the posting will be picked up
e.g. by some index.php file.
The posting in Ecowitt protocol will always look like
http://IP-or-URL/path-from-wsview-app/index.php&PASSKEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx&stationtype=
.....
the interceptor driver filters out the PASSKEY, stationtype and other
not observation related parts of the posted string and takes only the
observation related portions e.g. windgustmph=5.82

Did you enter a path in the WSView app ?
There must be at least a "/" - even though weewx doesn't care, the
console does.
If there is no path entered, it doesn't post via the custom server function.

According to Wireshark the weather station connects to WeeWX every
minute, but receives the 400 error code.
Stopping WeeWX, Wireshark now shows that the weather station instead
of the SYN ACK response to the low level TCP handshake instead
receives a RST ACK, indicating that the port now is closed for
communication.

Have a look in the other log files on your system, it should be
there somewhere. When running the interceptor driver directly the
(WeeWX) logging setup is somewhat abbreviated so it could be
different to when WeeWX is run.

You have changed many things in your setup and
even though you appear to have reverted to your
original working configuration I would be starting
from scratch as per the interceptor drive readme.I
would be running the driver directly and then
making sure you use the —debug command line
option. Post the console output here. Let’s see
where that gets us.

I have been using weewx on a Raspberry Pi for
about two years now. After my old Fine Offset
died soon after I moved from pywws I bought a
Eurochron WS2900 which I got running using the
interceptor driver, and that worked fine until
the weather station stopped giving temperature
readings this winter. I was able to fix that
last week (bad connector on the cable from the
temperature sensor to the circuit board in the
sensor array) but when I reconnected it to
weewx I started to experience various odd
things. The unit shows correct data on its
display and sends data to weewx, and the
webpages rendered by weewx are correct (e.g.
temperature ranging between 16°C and 28°C the
other day) but the temperatures sent to Windy
(and others) by weewx varies from -2°C to 21°C
for the same day. Thinking that there might be
some API change or something during the half
year my station was offline, and that I for
some time have had thoughts of moving it to a
virtual server on my ESXi station anyway, I
set up a Centos 8 machine and installed weewx
on it. Simulator works fine, but using the
same interceptor settings as on my Raspberry
Pi I don't get any data (IP updated in the
weather station settings).
Using
PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/weewx python3 -m
user.interceptor --debug --mode=listen
--port=8000 --device=ecowitt-client
I was able to once capture this after
listening maybe one hour:
raw data:
raw packet: {'dateTime': 1627416663, 'usUnits': 1}
mapped packet: {'dateTime': 1627416663,
'usUnits': 1}
Yay! A timestamp!
Trying to connect to port 8000 from another
computer in the network shows that the port is
open.
Thinking there is some problem with the
weather station I have reseted it, but no
change. The device is by itself directly
uploading to Weather Underground and some
other sites, and that works.
Frustrated I one again change the local IP the
weather station should send data to to the
Raspberry Pi, but now I don't get any data
there at all.
This is the interceptor settings of weewx.conf:
…
station_type = Interceptor
…
##############################################################################
[Interceptor]
# This section is for the network traffic
interceptor driver.
# The driver to use:
driver = user.interceptor
# Specify the hardware device to capture.

I'm not sure what more is relevant logs to post.
I see no dropped packages originating from the
weather station in the firewall log.
Does anyone have any idea how I should proceed
or what I should try?
