I bought a VantageVue, and I thought I had this working once, but trying to
get weewx going again,
and it's failing to boot. It's set up almost exactly like the VP2 I've had
running a couple of years. The relevant
config is below, as are the errors. It turns out that the station_type
name has to match the DRIVER_NAME in the
associated driver.py. With the try/except in engine.py commented out I can
see this:
return VantageService(engine, config_dict)
File "/home/weewx/bin/weewx/drivers/vantage.py", line 1828, in __init__
Vantage.__init__(self, **config_dict[DRIVER_NAME])
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/configobj.py", line 554, in
__getitem__
val = dict.__getitem__(self, key)
KeyError: 'Vantage'
There's no config section called Vantage, so configobj fails the look-up.
Once I changed
the station_type to Vantage, I get past this and fail for not being sudo'd,
which is fine at
the moment since it isn't related. I guess after all this messing around,
I didn't put 2 + 2 together
that the station_type value was something more that a config section name.
The basic log
message wasn't particularly helpful either, and the stack dumps take some
getting used to.

Without the try/except commented, this is all that shows up in the syslog:
