Hi, It would appear that at times the driver is getting a response from the bloomsky API but that response is empty. I have modified the driver to catch the exception, wait for the retry_wait period (10 sec by default) and then try again. If it continues to fail after 3 attempts that download is skipped. The failures will be logged. this won't fix the problem but the driver will now tolerate the error.
Could you replace your current bloomsky driver with the new version. To do this: 1. on your WeeWX machine move aside the current bloomsky driver: $ sudo my /usr/share/weewx/user/bloomsky.py /usr/share/weewx/user/ bloomsky_orig.py 2. download the revised bloomsky driver to your WeeWX machine: $ wget -P /usr/share/weewx/user https: //raw.githubusercontent.com/gjr80/weewx-bloomsky/master/bin/user/bloomsky.py 3. restart WeeWX 4. monitor the log for correct operation I am not sure how often you were seeing the IndexError, but you might want to browse your logs every now and then, if the error occurs you will see lines similar to: Jun 23 23:20:34 stretch14 weewx[1001]: bloomsky: bloomsky-client: Invalid data received on attempt 1 of 3: list index out of range Would be good to get some feedback, I have not had this issue raised by anyone previously plus I don't use the driver myself other than for testing. hopefully not a sign that the Bloomsky API is becoming flaky.
