Thank you again.. Ran the command suggested, *sudo /home/weewx/bin/wee_device —dump*, and output contained a slightly different message as seen below.
*raspberrypi wee_device[1516] ERROR weewx.manager: Unable to add record 2020-10-16 19:10:00 CDT (1602893400) to database 'weewx.sdb': UNIQUE constraint failed: archive.dateTime* The vantage pro2 has a couple of sensors disconnected since trying to finalize setup--unsure if that could cause above error. thank you On Thu, Oct 15, 2020 at 11:01 PM gjr80 <[email protected]> wrote: > It looks like the user you were logged in as when you ran wee_device does > not have sufficient privileges to write to the database.
