Well, I screwed up the line I wanted you to add.  Then end of that line should have been: (ts, type(ts), self.cache[obs][‘ts’], type(self.cache[obs][‘ts’]), max_age, type(max_age))) As I mentioned, the only way you could get this is if max_age is a string. Are you sure you don’t have max_cache_age = “600” (i.e., the 600 in quotes) in weewx.conf?

The issue is that max_age is being treated as a string instead of an integer when comparing timestamps. Find the problematic line (around line 2894): if obs in self.cache and ts - self.cache[obs]['ts'] <= max_age: Modify it to ensure integer comparison: if obs in self.cache and ts - self.cache[obs]['ts'] <= int(max_age): Also check the calling function (around line 2908) and ensure the max_age parameter is passed as integer:packet[obs] = self.get_value(obs, ts, int(max_age))Cheers,Ian On 19 Nov 2025, at 22:37, 'Ron Walker' via weewx-user <weewx...@googlegroups.com> wrote: Started weewx.service - WeeWX.
