Thank you for WeeWx and the updated vantage.py file. My VantageVue pulled in the Leaf and Soil values a few months ago after an update and I finally got annoyed with those being displayed, thus finding this thread. I loaded the updated vantage.py file and it changed the values to N/A. I followed up with these 2 commands and everything is working and looking great again!
sudo wee_database --drop-columns=leafTemp1,leafTemp2,leafWet1,leafWet2,soilTemp1,soilTemp2,soilTemp3,soilTemp4,soilMoist1,soilMoist2,soilMoist3,soilMoist4 sudo wee_database --rebuild-daily --from=2022-01-01 --to=2022-06-01 Thanks again for the hard work you've put into WeeWx. I purchased the Davis VantageVue and USB logger around 2011. Not happy with their software, I found WeeWx after purchasing an early RaspberryPi (600Mhz CPU and 256Mb RAM) and have been logging my weather since November 2012 on that setup.
