> loop_on_init hadn't been set by the install script... Did you run wee_config —reconfigure to reconfigure WeeWX to use the GW1000 driver after installing the driver? wee_config —reconfigure will ask if you want to set loop_on_init. If you did run wee_config —reconfigure did you set loop_on_init or not? Did the resulting setting in weewx.conf agree without you4 selection?
loop_on_init is a general WeeWX option set in the top level of weewx.conf. It is covered under General <http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#General> in The configuration file weewx.conf section <http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#weewxconf> in the Users Guide. Placing it in [GW1000] will have no effect.
