Thanks for that.

Indeed there's something strange going on, as when I changed the interval
using wee_device it said the interval was set to 30 minutes:

wee_device --set-interval=1

Using configuration file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf
Using Vantage driver version 3.0.9 (weewx.drivers.vantage)
Old archive interval is 30 minutes, new one will be 1 minutes.
Proceeding will change the archive interval as well as erase all old
archive records.
Are you sure you want to proceed (y/n)? y
Archive interval now set to 60 seconds.Archive records cleared.

Anyway, as you say no big deal, but a signal was crossed somewhere. It is
of course definitely possible that it was user error...

Is there a disadvantage to receiving the data (and generating) the reports
every 1 minute instead of 30 minutes? Is the only disadvantage cpu and
bandwidth?
