wee_device */home*/weewx/weewx.conf --help Anyway, I've upgraded, reset the weewx.conf file. And this shows the problem: Feb 2 16:50:21 Dummy-PC weewx[3717]: engine: The archive interval in the configuration file (300) does not match the station hardware interval (1800). Feb 2 16:50:21 Dummy-PC weewx[3717]: engine: Using archive interval of 1800 seconds (specified by hardware) Trying to change to wee_device /etc/weewx/weewx.conf --set-interval=5 weewx.WeeWxIOError: could not claim interface 0: Operation not permitted I have weewx stopped. And this will be upsetting if I cannot reset this. This was the problem I had before, I could not change the interval, and eventually the unit crapped out. Bought the same thing, a WS-2095, and worked until this summer. I'm going to post this and restart weewx and think about next steps which will include trash compactor.
