Hi Bill,
Yes that will cause problems. I have two GW1000 on my network and the when
run as a driver/service the ip_address setting has always been honoured in
my testing. Running the driver directly is a little different, I thought i
had coded the driver such that it would take the IP address from weewx.conf
or the command line, seems I never included weewx.conf and it was being
ignored. b9 and earlier exhibited the following behaviour:
- when run as a driver/service as part of a running WeeWX install:
1. if an IP address is specified at [GW1000] ip_address that IP address
is used
2. if [GW1000] ip_address is 'auto' or the setting is omitted the
driver searches for GW1000 on the local network and uses the address of
the
first GW1000 that responds
- when run directly:
1. if --ip is specified on the command line that IP address is used
2. if --ip is not specified on the command line the driver searches
for GW1000 on the local network and uses the address of the first GW1000
that responds
Under b10 the behaviour will change when run directly:
1. if --ip is specified on the command line that IP address will be used
2. if --ip is not specified on the command line weewx.conf is checked
and [GW1000] ip_address will be used if set
3. if --ip is not specified on the command line and there is nothing
under [GW1000] in weewx.conf the driver searches for GW1000 on the local
network and uses the address of the first GW1000 that responds
The behaviour when run as part of a running WeeWX install will not change.
