Morning Gary,
Thanks for replying. I hope its not a faulty unit as that could be the
death of the weather station for now. She is over 10 years old now and I
replaced one of the sensor modules only last year. If she does die I
think I would build my own open source kit maybe? Anyway getting ahead of
myself.
*1) Stop Weewx*
*It seems at some point in my wisdom I set up weewx as a Daemon so I have
removed weewx from /etc/init.d and restarted the server (Its ubuntu running
on QNAP's Virtualisation Station).*
*2) Checking for remaining processes*
*auser@pecan-ubuntu:/home/weewx$ ps aux | grep -i weewx*
*auser** 1238 0.0 0.0 14428 1032 pts/0 S+ 07:34 0:00 grep
--color=auto -i weewx*
*auser**@pecan-ubuntu**:/home/weewx$ pidof weewx*
*auser**@pecan-ubuntu**:/home/weewx$ *
*3) sudo ./bin/wee_device --clear-memory *
*Using configuration file /home/weewx/weewx.conf*
*Using Vantage driver version 3.2.1 (weewx.drivers.vantage)*
*Proceeding will erase all archive records.*
*Are you sure you wish to proceed (y/n)? y*
*Erasing all archive records ...*
*Archive records erased.*
*4) set debug = 1 in weewx.conf and restart WeeWX with sudo ./bin/weewxd*
syslog output is in attached file but run terminal output is like:
*LOOP: 2021-06-17 07:40:57 BST (1623912057) altimeter: 29.86448769405689,

The loop date is correct so the question I have here is where has
2112-04-20 come from below?
* DEBUG weewx.drivers.vantage: Getting archive packets since 2112-04-20

I think my next step is going to be grabbing a copy of the database and
seeing if I can see any problems but if you have any thoughts or solutions
in mind I'd be grateful.
Thanks
Chris
