If you look in your log, you'll see that the rtl_433 process failed to run because of permissions problems. The log also suggests fixing the problem by installing the udev rules file "rtl-sir:rules". You can find this rules file in the rtl-sdr repository: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/osmocom/rtl-sdr/master/rtl-sdr.rules
V4.10 ran as user "root". Fresh V5 installs run as user "weewx", which may not have the permissions necessary to access your device. The rules file gives it these permissions. Alternatively, you could change your install to run under "root".
