To my Oregon WMR928 I have a USB-to-COM-port converter. That one seems to 
change device for unknown reason. It can happen during reboot or 
spontaneously. If it changes from /dev/ttyUSB0 to /dev/ttyUSB1 then Weewx 
stops. So I need to have a fixed device to use in weewx.conf

This page describes how to do it:
http://hintshop.ludvig.co.nz/show/persistent-names-usb-serial-devices/

What I did was check the settings using "lsusb":
[email protected]:~# lsusb
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 1781:0c31 Multiple Vendors
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 051d:0002 American Power Conversion Uninterruptible 
Power Supply
*Bus 001 Device 005: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial 
Port*
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1a40:0101 TERMINUS TECHNOLOGY INC.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

I created the file* /etc/udev/rules.d/99-usb-serial.rules* with the content:
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="067b", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2303", 
SYMLINK+="wmr928"

(In the description they have "serial" too but I could not get that to work 
so I skipped it and it seems to do the trick anyway)

The new device (link) will be */dev/wmr928* so change 
*/etc/weewx/weewx.conf* for your station.

Reboot

Check that the new device is created and that Weewx works..

Reboot.
