Perhaps I'm not understanding the issue properly but if the console/driver is not emitting records then I would expect that WeeWX should not be adding any records to database (archive or daily summaries).
Also, not a solution to the underlying problem but if you only need rebuild part of your daily summaries (which it sounds is the case) then if you are using WeeWX v4.0 or later you should be able to use --date or --from/--to with wee_database <http://weewx.com/docs/utilities.htm#wee_database_utility> to rebuild a single day only or a number of days.
