syslog extract posted. weewx is loading the service, though it also seems
to subscribe to the data which MQTT is publishing from weewx. the second
section shows that subscribe receives the data I published from the
terminal (6 inches of snow), but rejects it as outside of interval. Is
there an entry to be made somewhere to sync incoming data? I note that
another extension I use (GW1000) needed dateTime = datetime in a field map
to work properly.
