I have a single ISS, single console and wired envoy. That is, there is a cable from the ISS to the envoy. The data logger inserted in the envoy is connected to the Pi via a serial cable. The console is listening to the ISS wirelessly. I assumed, incorrectly, that the ISS was listening to the envoy since the envoy also has an antenna. I took the logger out of the envoy with all the power supplies connected, waited around 30 seconds, and plugged it back in to the Envoy, closed the case up and inserted the batteries, and got a beep, then about two minutes later, plugged the Envoy into the DC wall transformer. Restarted the weewx software normally (in daemon mode). No pages got updated and got CRC16 errors, so restarted weewx in software mode, and ordered a new data logger, as I'm pretty sure it's the problem. If not I have a spare...
