The sensor signal contain Amps reading which is analyzed by *rtl_433* but we adjusted the *SDR driver* to convert and send *KW* instead, which is what the lcd display is showing and the *SDR driver* is sending KW reading to weewx every 20 seconds, we should have mentioned this earlier (our apology).
the 1st part of Gary suggestion was added to current.inc but the 2nd part crashed weewx when we added the code to extensions.py we stopped weewx and run it again but failed to start with following error: Sep 7 13:00:02 Mks systemd[1]: Starting LSB: weewx weather system... Sep 7 13:00:02 Mks weewx[28024]: Starting weewx weather system: weewx Sep 7 13:00:02 Mks weewx[28034]: Traceback (most recent call last): Sep 7 13:00:02 Mks weewx[28034]: File "/usr/share/weewx/weewxd", line 29, in <module> Sep 7 13:00:02 Mks weewx[28034]: import user.extensions Sep 7 13:00:02 Mks weewx[28034]: File "/usr/share/weewx/user/extensions.py", line 20, in <module> Sep 7 13:00:02 Mks weewx[28034]: weewx.units.USUnits['group_energy'] = 'kilo_watt_hour' Sep 7 13:00:02 Mks weewx[28034]: NameError: name 'weewx' is not defined Sep 7 13:00:02 Mks weewx[28035]: failed!
