Thanks, all! Keep them coming. 1. The syslog comment is annoying, but harmless. We've changed the weewx unit service file to specify StandardError of journal+console. Commit 940eff4 <https://github.com/weewx/weewx/commit/940eff463d9af28932fbd3e1464c5e3858567d53> .
2. Missing Vantage records. I've noticed variants of this problem when it takes a long time to download records from the console. My best is that while the console is busy emitting historic records, it neglects to create new ones. Hence, you miss a few records. I don't think it has anything to do with V5, as the driver code hasn't changed much. 3. Greg, I would guess that your problems are due to using a very old version of pip. You're at 3.11, but the current version is 23.3. See the wiki article *Troubleshooting pip installs <https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/pip-troubleshooting>* and see if that helps. -tk On Fri, Dec 22, 2023 at 12:45 AM Greg <[email protected]> wrote: > I installed weewx using the pip method and followed the instructions. > I did a pip list before installing to get the list of what other > dependencies I am using. > When I installed paho-mqtt and pyephem I got these errors: > > Installing collected packages: paho-mqtt > DEPRECATION: paho-mqtt is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py > install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the > 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour > change.
