What does the log say? It will tell you what was/was not written to database during the wee_device —dump runs. I can’t recall the exact console output from wee_device —dump, but wee_device just causes the archive records to be downloaded from the logger, it doesn’t actually know whether they are saved to database or not. I would take the reported figure from wee_device as the number of records downloaded. The log will tell you exactly how many were actually saved to database.
The only ways I am aware of to obtain records from the logger are: 1. normal WeeWX operation (using hardware record generation) 2. automatic download of new records during WeeWX startup (only records newer than the most recent database record are downloaded) 3. wee_device —dump Gary On Saturday, 6 February 2021 at 19:27:23 UTC+10 Richard G wrote: > I have had a Davis Vantage Pro2 and weewx running on a Pi for several > years now.
