The Envoy is functionally identical to the VP2, which is why it reports itself as a VP2. I'm not as confident about the WLIP, but I think it's the same way. On Sat, May 14, 2022 at 8:52 PM Ryan Stasel wrote: > so I have another Envoy, and a Weatherlink IP... and I'm trying to get it >

Hi Tom, Sorry, I thought the mis-identification was why ET was showing in WeeWX (though the Vue doesn't provide that information), so it's just stuck at 0.0. I can certainly modify the skin, but will that not revert on update? On Monday, May 16, 2022 at 9:09:53 AM UTC-7 tke...@gmail.com

I'm not sure why this matters. The identification is only for the tag $station.hardware. Otherwise, it is ignored. If you want your skin to say "VantageVue" (or, for that matter, anything else), just replace "$station.hardware" with your preference. Or, am I missing something? On Mon, May 16,

Howdy Tom, So after asking on the wxforum, it sounds like for an Envoy, the station SHOULD be set to Vantage Pro, even if it's talking to a Vue: https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=43911.new;topicseen#new So, seems like there might be something we need to do for the Envoy console with a

1. totally fair. guessing he's not going to agree. lol. On MB you just say "Vantage" and that covers Pro, Pro2, Vue, and Envoy. 3. I'm still seeing in weewx generated HTML on occasion an "Unknown" for batt info (after changing archive interval to 5mins). It seemed like those were in LOOP

1. Yours is a non-standard setup. I'd rather that the MB dev fixed his implementation. 2. That makes sense. 3. With a 60 second archive interval, it's possible that the console will occasionally not have seen the battery info, so it shows as N/A. With a 5 minute interval, it should consistently

1. The hardware type is determined by the WRD command. You can check what it's returning by setting debug=1, then restarting. Look at the log. The hardware type will be listed and look something like: May 12 15:22:59 nuc weewx[91691] DEBUG weewx.drivers.vantage: Hardware type is 16 For whatever

To be clear, I have "model_type" set to 2 rather than 1. But neither are the Vue, so I'm not sure if that matters or not. If I just comment that line out, will it try to figure it out on it's own? There's no documentation on that parameter in the docs that I can find. On Wednesday, May 11,

Thanks Thomas. I was looking through the Vantage driver, and was curious if there was a way to just "force" Vue. Saw something about setting the value to 17, but not sure that is accurate. Does it read that value out of the Envoy EEPROM? I can inquire with the MB developer and see if they have

1. I'm afraid I can't offer an opinion on this, because your arrangement is so non-standard. Normally, the station type is read out of EEPROM. 2. After 30 days, the logic in the skin gives up and figures the sensors are gone. So, you can either wait that long, or pare down the list of sensors in

Hi All, I just flipped drivers to the Vantage driver (having previously used the ambientweatherapi driver). I have two questions. 1. My page now thinks I have a Vantage Pro 2 rather than a Vue. I'm interfacing over "ethernet" to a Meteobridge Nano SD in an Envoy. Is there a different value I
