I am having a lot of trouble getting Weewx to recognize my weather station.
I have installed it on a Synology DS214PLAY and am using DSM 6.0.(latest
version).
I first wanted to make sure that my Synology acknowledged the weather
station being connected to it, so I used the "udevadm" command.
I used the monitor function and did the unplug the device/plug in the
device to generate the messages below.
UDEV [666494.874978] remove

UDEV [666502.002650] add

It appears that the Synology knows that the weather station is there, so I
was trying to determine with port to insert in my weewx.conf
[Vantage]
# This section is for the Davis Vantage series of weather stations.
# Connection type: serial or ethernet
# serial (the classic VantagePro)
# ethernet (the WeatherLinkIP)
type = serial
# If the connection type is serial, a port must be specified:
# Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat, Fedora, and SuSE:
# /dev/ttyUSB0 is a common USB port name
# /dev/ttyS0 is a common serial port name
# BSD:
# /dev/cuaU0 is a common serial port name
*port = /dev/usbdev4.1*
# If the connection type is ethernet, an IP Address/hostname is
required:
host = 1.2.3.4
Looking at this line....
UDEV [666501.803194] add
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.0/0000:02:00.0/usb4/4-1 (usb)
I thought the port should be the following: *port = /dev/usbdev4.1*
Now looking at this line...
UDEV [666501.804876] add
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.0/0000:02:00.0/usb4/4-1/usb_device/*usbdev4.4
*(usb_device)
I saw the "usbdev4.4" (bolded above) do I tried port = /dev/usbdev4.1
Neither worked and gave me the following error.
Aug 14 11:05:58 SuperServer weewx[26974]: engine: Unable to load driver:
Could not configure port: (25, 'Inappropriate ioctl for device')
Aug 14 11:05:58 SuperServer weewx[26974]: **** Exiting...
So I tried changing the port line in the "conf" file to port = /dev/tty41
KEEP IN MIND I'M DESPERATE HERE!
and I get the following error
Aug 14 11:08:40 SuperServer weewx[27287]: vantage: Unable to wake up console
Aug 14 11:08:40 SuperServer weewx[27287]: engine: Unable to load driver:
Unable to wake up Vantage console
Aug 14 11:08:40 SuperServer weewx[27287]: **** Exiting...
And one final desperate measure, I tried changing the line in the port to *port
= /dev/ttyS3* Thinking I saw USB4 in the line below...
UDEV [666501.804876] add
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.0/0000:02:00.0/*usb4*/4-1/usb_device/
*usbdev4.4 *(usb_device)
I though considering the was ttyS0, ttyS1, ttyS2, and ttyS3, I'd try ttyS3
(remember I'm desperate).
I then got the following error
Aug 14 11:11:31 SuperServer weewx[27642]: **** Exiting...
Aug 14 11:12:22 SuperServer weewx[27785]: engine: Unable to load driver:
Could not configure port: (5, 'Input/output error')
Either I have the wrong port or I need a the USB to serial port conversion
as I had to do that on my Windows PC. I looked a little, but I haven't
found one for linux. I am a novice on linux, so I apologize if I am asking
the obvious.
Help would be immensely appreciated.
