So I got a HP1000SE Pro Black Edition and tried to set it up today. Unfortunately, it seems that weewx does not recieve any data from the console, because there are not entries in the syslog.
I set up the interceptor driver with this <https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-interceptor> guide. Concerning the libpcap package, following packages are installed on my system: libpcap-dev, libpcap0.8, libpcap0.8-dev and the package pypcap installed via pip. In my weewx.conf, the section about the interceptor driver looks like this: *[Interceptor]* # This section is for the network traffic interceptor driver. # The driver to use: driver = user.interceptor # Specify the hardware device to capture. Options include: # acurite-bridge - acurite internet bridge, smarthub, or access # observer - fine offset WH2600/HP1000/HP1003, ambient WS2902 # lw30x - oregon scientific LW301/LW302 # lacrosse-bridge - lacrosse GW1000U/C84612 internet bridge # ecowitt-client - any hardware that uses the ecowitt protocol # wu-client - any hardware that uses the weather underground protocol device_type = ecowitt-client mode = sniff iface = eth0 pcap_filter = src 192.168.1.24 and dst port 80 The iface is correct, as well as the IP of the console in the LAN network. Weewx starts without any error. Here's the log: Jun 28 21:52:40 weewx systemd[1]: Starting LSB: weewx weather system...

But that's all and there are no entries about weewx recieving data from the console. How can I get weewx to recieve data from the console? Thank you for your help!
