(apologies if this is badly formatted - google groups is going whacko for
me currently and I'm now stuck in a tiny overlaid window in the Safari
browser)
I notice that my weewx (docker) instance running the gw1000 driver lost
connection to the gateway on Sunday. I am going to guess it did not have
anything to do with the daylight savings transition here in the US as the
failure was at 20:42 localtime on Sunday 3/14.
Restarting the weewx container did not help. While the ubuntu system
could ping the ip address of the gw1000 just fine, weewx is complaining it
can't find the mac address of the gateway and throws the usual 'retrying in
60 seconds' messages.
I might add that the gateway's comm to the Ecowitt servers was working fine
during this multi-day outage before I noticed weewx wasn't updating. The
Ecowitt mobile app didn't miss any readings, it was just weewx that
couldn't communicate with the gateway.
Transcript follows.
(note - a power reset on the gateway 'did' result in weewx automatically
working again)
