Console has no batteries in it, it is on UPS power all the time.
Have powered down waited for over a minute, the powered back up more
than 5 times already save exact response, or lack thereof each time.
I did already mention that the 5.1 version of weewx was working up to
and until the 5.2 version was installed.

That would seem to indicate that weeWX connected to the IP since there
is no mention of it, but the console wouldn't respond, or not as it's
expecting anyway...
Tried taking out batteries from the console and disconnecting from
power until it goes flat and then putting them back in etc?

I will turn on the debug tomorrow and restart weewx and see what
comes out.
BTW, everything was working just fine on weewx 5.1 before the update.
Thanks,

Folks,
I updated weewx to version 5.2.0-1 on Debian 12.9 earlier in
the week and it appears that weewx is no longer talking to the
weatherlink IP (WLIP) interface. I can ping the WLIP IP address
and get a response to the ping.
I am getting an IP read error: timed out.
