Vince, I restarted weewx but after connecting the Vantage to the usb port on the pi. Looking at the output of journalctl -f, I saw much weewx activity related to the Vantage. The webpage was encouraging but still listed the station as the Simulator. Playing around a little (stop, start, etc) I saw one USB0 error in red, but that was just once and saw it identified the extended data set tables. After letting it run awhile, the webpage changed to note it was now Hardware Vantage Pro2 and the data curves were getting to be correct. The outside temperature and dew point is not updating yet for the daily chart but appears to be working for the weekly. After running for awhile a new graph appeared showing the 2 extended temperature sensors (very nice...no work on my part).
I will leave it alone to see what finally happens. The data file I ported over goes back to 2011.
