Thanks for this. I was really excited. Tried it, but it doesn't work. Specifically, here is the log file:
Dec 27 18:00:32 ubu-mini-weather weewx[10917]: engine: Loading station type Vantage (weewx.drivers.vantage) Dec 27 18:00:32 ubu-mini-weather weewx[10902]: ...done. Dec 27 18:00:32 ubu-mini-weather systemd[1]: Started LSB: weewx weather system. Dec 27 18:00:32 ubu-mini-weather weewx[10917]: vantage: Socket error while opening port 22222 to ethernet host 192.168.198.202. Dec 27 18:00:32 ubu-mini-weather weewx[10917]: import of driver failed: [ Errno 111] Connection refused (<class 'weewx.WeeWxIOError'>) Dec 27 18:00:32 ubu-mini-weather weewx[10917]: engine: Unable to load driver : [Errno 111] Connection refused Dec 27 18:00:32 ubu-mini-weather weewx[10917]: **** Exiting... The serial port converter wants to use socket 3001. Worked fine in wview, so I chaged the socket address in weewx.conf to be 192.168.198.202:3001. Then, I get the following: Dec 27 17:31:29 ubu-mini-weather weewx[10673]: engine: Loading station type Vantage (weewx.drivers.vantage) Dec 27 17:31:29 ubu-mini-weather weewx[10673]: vantage: Socket error while opening port 22222 to ethernet host 192.168.198.202:3001. Dec 27 17:31:29 ubu-mini-weather weewx[10673]: import of driver failed: [ Errno -2] Name or service not known (<class 'weewx.WeeWxIOError'>) Dec 27 17:31:29 ubu-mini-weather weewx[10673]: engine: Unable to load driver : [Errno -2] Name or service not known Dec 27 17:31:29 ubu-mini-weather weewx[10658]: ...done. So, I'm not sure how to tell it to open the correct socket on the lantronix. I'll have a look at the code, but any ideas?
