I am running weewx on a Raspberry Pi with a Vantage Pro 2, and I have recently switched from using a USB logger to using a WiFiLogger (which is a relatively new third party device which emulates a WeatherLinkIP, but has a number of additional features. I am not running VVP, but I have see the same intermittent (every 1-3 days) and unrecovered weewx crashes with Vantage IP-read errors that you describe. Restarting weewx manually was almost always successful (occasionally I have had to do it twice, for no obvious reason). I tried a number of different approaches to restarting weewx automatically without success, but I have now converted it to a systemd unit and added the appropriate commands to the unit file to restart it on failure, and this seems to have solved the problem (I still see occasional crashes, but systemd successfully restarts the daemon). I had to do a fair amount of spelunking to find a 'recipe' for converting weewx to a native systemd service, so let me know if you want to try this and I will write up the results of my research and post them here. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
