I can't get WeeWx to properly parse out WindDir from an Acurite 5n1 sensor packet using SDR. I believe this is something on the WeeWx side and not the SDR side. I see the value in there when I manually run both rtl_433 and the sdr.py program, but WeeWx refuses to parse it. It will even show in the debug log file that it is being parsed, but the loop packets can't seem to find it. Can anyone please let me know what I might be doing wrong?
