That path originally didn’t work for me either, try the same one I have

This script works on a 'clean' pi to install weewx+interceptor using the dpkg and install interceptor over v5 weewx. You'll have to manually edit weewx.conf to set the listening port to match your station's setup (this example uses 8000) and then you'll need to restart weewx to make it take effect. Unfortunately I don't have any gear to listen to, so I can't test it completely, but weewx 'does' run the interceptor and it 'does' listen on the specified port. #------ install weewx using the dpkg installation method sudo apt install -y wget gnupg wget -qO - https://weewx.com/keys.html | \ sudo gpg --dearmor --output /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/weewx.gpg echo "deb [arch=all] https://weewx.com/apt/python3 buster main" | \ sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list sudo apt update sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt install -y weewx #------- install interceptor and hook into weewx sudo apt-get install -y libpcap-dev sudo python3 -m pip install libpcap pypcap --break-system-packages sudo weectl extension install https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-interceptor/archive/master.zip sudo weectl station reconfigure --no-prompt --driver=user.interceptor #------- add weewx to all the groups typical 'pi' is # which should permit binding to non-privileged ports for g in adm dialout cdrom sudo audio video plugdev games users input render netdev gpio i2c spi do sudo usermod -aG $g weewx done #------- manual steps to do to complete the installation are below ##### ##### sudo vi /etc/weewx.conf ##### and add "listen = 8000" to the Interceptor section ##### and run "sudo systemctl restart weewx" to restart weewx ##### ##### sudo tail /var/log/syslog should show weewx log entries ##### or alternately "sudo journalctl -xe -u weewx" to do it that way ##### On Saturday, March 30, 2024 at 12:21:36 PM UTC-7 radio4pi wrote: Thank you all for your help on this. I am still struggling unfortunately, and not understanding what I am doing wrong. Nor, to be honest, not understanding what I am doing? I am not a programmer, and I am just following what others have written verbatim. So when it fails I don't know why? It would be great to have a Step-by-step guide, even though the Help pages are very informative, it doesn't alter the fact that I don't know what I don't know. Sort of like learning to drive a car without having a car, if you get what I mean? This must he frustrating for you all too? The Android app that I use is WS View Plus; <https://groups.google.com/group/weewx-user/attach/2001cdc917eabc/Screenshot_20240330_172340_Google%20%20Play%20Store.jpg?part=0.1.1&view=1> I kept getting Timeout Errors when trying to get the "Customized" set to Port 8080. But I managed to get it set to Port 8000 as suggested elsewhere. I also had Timeout Errors when trying to set the Path, but it seems to like the Path set as "/". Again as suggested elswhere. At some point I did get it set to Path 8000. <https://groups.google.com/group/weewx-user/attach/2001cdc917eabc/Screenshot_20240330_172244_WSView%20%20Plus.jpg?part=0.1.2&view=1> But I am still struggling trying to get the Interceptor to install? Whether I am in the wrong Folder, or the respective part of the Installation is in the wrong Folder, or I am not in Root, or whatever else Error I get, I am unable to resolve the issue. I think eventually the penny will drop, and it will "click" as to what I am reading, and I will suddenly see what I am doing wrong. But when sat in front of the Keyboard and Screen on my own, without anyone to guide me, or anyone else to soundboard off of, this is a bit of a learning curve. But that's half of the fun! When I get it working correctly I'll let you all know .

I have a Raspberry PI connected by ethernet to the same network that my AmbientWeather WS-2902C console is connected to, so they can talk to each other. The interceptor section of my weewx.conf file has (between the ---- only): ---- [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 = 8080 iface = eth0 ---- iface is eth0 as I have it weewx on the rpi over ethernet, and note the port 8080 is important (must match awnet) as per the bottom of this message: For the WS-2902C console to connect to weatherunderground and other places, on my andoid phone (they have a smilar app for iphones) - the app is called "AWNET". Currently this ambientweather awnet app allows you to connect external services to your weather data. YOur phone needs to be on the same network when running awnet. This is how you get a permanent always up and running feed of data from the console (which enhances and enriches the data received from the array) - every 16 seconds. These are the connections you can configure in awnet: AmbientWeather.net Wunderground Weathercloud "Customized" - and this is the key - weewx subscribes to this connection Here are the settings on my AWNET (port 8080). The Server IP / Hostname is the IP address of your RPI. . <https://groups.google.com/group/weewx-user/attach/2001cdc917eabc/Screenshot_20240329_114459_awnet.jpg?part=0.1.3&view=1> Good luck, let us know how it goes!

It is linked to various Online Weather sites including Weather Underground via it's Display. I also have it linked to an Ecowitt GW2000 that is not currently linked to any Online Weather sites. I have read the User Guide, and followed various Tutorials, but I am none the wiser as to why it does not work? Is there a step by step guide that is written for a complete novice like me to follow? Although the Ventus W830 is listed in the Compatible Hardware List as a Fine Offset model it does not appear in the Available Hardware Types in the Software on my Raspberry Pi. I have tried using Simulator, plus all of the (dozen or so) options for the various types of PWS listed in the software. What am I not doing correctly, or what I have missed, I have no idea? I have just followed the Instructions in the "Guide". But there still seem to be lots of CRITICAL __main__: errors in Red, so it is a bit catistrophic? I am not a programmer, nor that familiar with a Raspberry Pi. All I know is what I have been struggling with here, and following YouTube videos. Any help would be very, very much appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
