I took the battery out of my console...permanently and I put in a normally closed relay into the 5V of the usb cable that goes to the console. I run a cron job that checks to see if the weather index.html file has NOT been changed in 20 minutes. If is has not then the same script restarts weewx. If it still doesn't update then the home automation turns on the power to the relay and it opens and drops the power to the console and resets the console. Weex is started again. If all of that doesn't work then the script runs wee_device --clear-memory
if all of that doesn't work I have a backup console........... Touch wood...I haven't had any issues with the fineoffset console for years. I wrote the script when I was USING cumulus....it locked up lots.
