1. choosing port 80 for the custom server to send/post to is not a smart
choice as this port is already used by the local (RPi) web server
(nginx, apache2, ...). You must choose a unique port e.g. 8000, 8080, ...
2. in weewx.conf you must not assign the port along with the ip address.
the entry should be:
ip_address = 192.168.0.29
only, no colon or port added - it's, however, not needed
below a working [Interceptor] section
# ------ start weewx.conf excerpt --------------------
[Interceptor]
# This section is for the network traffic interceptor driver.
# The driver to use:
driver = user.interceptor
# Specify the hardware device to capture. Options include:
# acurite-bridge - acurite internet bridge, smarthub, or access
# observer - fine offset WH2600/HP1000/HP1003, ambient WS2902
# lw30x - oregon scientific LW301/LW302
# lacrosse-bridge - lacrosse GW1000U/C84612 internet bridge
# ecowitt-client - any hardware that uses the ecowitt protocol
# wu-client - any hardware that uses the weather underground protocol
device_type = observer
*port = 8000*
iface = eth0
# ---------- end excerpt weewx.conf ------------
if you use the WLAN interface of the RPi ("WiFi"), then use: iface =
wlan0 instead of iface = eth0
(the last character is a zero !!)
You don't need to enter your IP address here, it's obviously the one of
the RPi
the port (*8000*) should also be the same in the WS View / awnet app
(customized server)
You can of course choose another number, however not 80 !
there (WS View, awnet) the IP address of your RPi has to be entered (NO
http:// in front of the address !! - only the address)
the path has to show at least "/" - an empty path will keep the console
from posting
good luck

on port 80 (both on the same network internal network) but the PI is
having trouble loading the interceptor driver with weird error
messages (probably something simple as I am a noob). As per the
Interceptor installation instructions for this model state I should
use device-type=observer and listen (as I am not intercepting), these
are the error messages I am running into from the log -
sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start
then here's the log info:

so, I also tried this for debugging:
pi@kruse-pi:~ $ PYTHONPATH=bin python3
/usr/share/weewx/user/interceptor.py --device=observer --mode=listen
address=<IP ADDRESS OF THE CONSOLE> --port=80
And came up with this which is not very helpful!
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/weewx/user/interceptor.py", line 302, in <module>
import weewx.drivers
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'weewx'
????
A little help - any ideas?
Thank you!
