Hello Julz,
I only just got LW301 working with weewx myself (again). In my case the
interceptor driver is used in listen mode, not sniff mode, and I have an
OpenWRT router/mini server running it.
My first experiment with it stopped working when Oregon Scientific pulled
down the Anywhere Weather server designed to work with the LW301. This had
the effect of the LW301 continually looking up DNS for the server and
getting no-where, so it stopped sending any type of data that the
interceptor driver could capture for weewx.
I've since added a host record to my OpenWRT router so the LW301 sends its
data to my local box instead of out on the internet, my router rewrites the
request via firewall rules to port 8080, where the interceptor driver is
set to listen to and can thus read the data in the http POST and use it for
weewx. If you haven't done something like this yourself in answering the
LW301's sad request for a server that no longer exists, the LW301 is
unlikely to be sending anything useful at all ... it will just forlornly be
looking for the Oregon server it is designed to send its data to.
Note that you only need to fool the LW301 into thinking it has a
destination to send the data to - gateway.weather.oregonscientific.com is
the hostname it wants ... you don't actually have to handle the http POST
it sends after it finds the appropriately named server.
Hope this helps in some small way.
Cheers,
Anthony
