Without seeing your logs and the gw1000 section of weewx.conf, we can't 
help too much.

As always start with setting debug=1, restart weewx, let it run through at 
least 'two' archive periods, and post the log.

WeeWX isn't going to start nor run reliably if the driver can't find your 
ecowitt gateway, which happens if your network is unstable and especially 
if the pi is on wifi.  We'd need to see the gw1000 section of weewx.conf to 
suggest much there.   And what ip is your pi and what ip is the ecowitt 
gateway ?

Also does this happen on 'reboot' or on 'power down and up' ?   The pi has 
no battery backed realtime clock so weewx might be waiting for your pi to 
get accurate network time.
