After installing the interceptor driver it still needs to be configured in
the weewx.conf file
Typically the installer will add a section like this at the end of the
config file. Note that this is my modified version, there is no raineagle
device in the official interceptor driver.
[Interceptor]
# This section is for the network traffic interceptor driver.
# The driver to use:
driver = user.interceptor
# Specify the hardware device to capture. Options include:
# acurite-bridge - acurite internet bridge
# observer - fine offset WH2600/HP1000/HP1003, aka 'observer'
# lw30x - oregon scientific LW301/LW302
# lacrosse-bridge - lacrosse GW1000U/C84612 internet bridge
device_type = raineagle
mode = listen
address = 192.168.1.89
port = 80
You have to configure the driver with the correct options for your station.
In the [Station] section of the weewx.conf file you need to change the
driver so that is does not point to the simulator, but to the Interceptor
# Set to type of station hardware. There must be a corresponding stanza
# in this file with a 'driver' parameter indicating the driver to be
used.
station_type = Interceptor
After saving the config file you need to restart weewx service
