The .conf you posted had the interval set to 900 = 15 minutes, not 5, but
the station only outputs the pressure every 15 minutes - so perhaps your
archive interval needs to be 20-30 minutes in order to contain at least one
pressure reading
Does the weather station have its interval set to the same value??
I see that the station only supplies barometer in loop and rec packets, and
pressure in loop data and for rec packets weewx has to calculate altimeter
and pressure
If you have a long archive interval (eg 30 minutes rather than the 5 i
suggested originally), and the station set to the same value, does it help??
