I have added the “baudrate” : 9600  to the driver (as looking at the embedded docs in there, which sent me to a link confirming it is 9600 baud)I think this (if it is correct) should be hardcoded rather than configurable as it seems the wmr9x8 will always be 9600 baud, though if this is the

To add to this thread Jan, could you fork this repo and send a link? I am starting some work on a few enhancements to the wee_extensions and I can create the proper packaging that weewx expects so that future users of the driver can install it properly. I would fork the repo, but I do not have a

Unfortunately, the driver does not let you set the baudrate from the configuration file. If you want to change it, you'll have to go into the code. If you want to do this, starting at line 94 of weewx/driver/wmr9x8.py you'll find this: self.serialconfig = { "bytesize":

I'll have to investigate how to set the baud rate, as I'm pretty sure the wmr918 is outputting at 9600. It just appears I might not be listening at 9600! I did think that the 11.5k baud was the max the interface could support, but the client software could set it to whatever it needed to suit

Thank you for your time in responding. It is correct that byows_rpi extension is mostly just a python file (byows_rpi.py) saved to /usr/share/weewx/user/ I have followed the directions at the git repository and have verified with Change Driver

1, It looks like the byows_pi extension does not use the extension installer, so weewx has no way of knowing of its existence. This is why it doesn't show up in the list of available drivers. 2. As for running byows_pi directly, you have a slight problem with your paths. Try either this cd

Could definitely be a baud rate issue. The driver opens the port using the default pyserial rate, which is 9600, and you seem to be at 115200. Can you change the port rate to 9600? If not, we can try changing the driver to expect 115200. These things are also easier to diagnose by running weewxd
