Have just started receiving similar messages, albeit using Belfryboy clone.
Bought a logger in Aug 2017 and it's since been working like a champ connecting my VP2 6152 (F/W v3.62) with my RPi running weewx. On 01-Jan-2018 21:15, the connection stopped working. Specifically, I'm getting "No Ack" errors in weewx.log; messages.log shows no issues recognizing the FTDI device. Have tried manually communicating via the screen command and I'm getting only "SECURED-LOGGER FAILED" messages. *Larry*, any tips from Davis support?
