The error "cannot find start time" happens when there is nothing in the database. Is this the first time you've used the database?

Normally, there is something in the database before a report is generated, but, I suspect, you have a corrupted logger memory. So, weewxd is unable to retrieve anything from it.

Seems to be working after I used the software records.

That's good, but you really should clear the logger memory. Otherwise, you won't be able to enjoy a key feature of weewx + Vantage: the ability to continue to log data, even if your computer crashes, your network goes down, or you experience a power outage.

...and then change back to hardware record generation.

I tried to go back to hardware, after using wee-device commands but it stopped again.  I am connecting to the Vantage Pro2 thru a meteobridge and have other software running on windows, was just trying to learn something new but I am not sure that rasberryPi  is not above my head so as long as it works with software generation will leave it that way. I have learned some form this I guess.

Oh. You're going through Meteobridge? That's an important detail. 

WeeWX expects to be able to control the state of the Vantage station. I don't know if it can do that going through a Meteobridge. I'm not even sure what that means.

We haven't seen the exact wee_device commands issued and the exact response, perhaps seeing those might go some way towards answering that question?

I used the dump command and it finished no change  and the other one was the same. So I went back to software and am getting a good web page.

I have 2 Vantage pro consoles 1 feeding a computer with VWS, Cumulus and Weather Display I upload to CWOP, WUNDERGROUND, PWS, PLAINS WEATHER NET and the other feeding meteobridge to get to AMBIENT WEATHER site for the last 15 years. Now I have a rasberyPi  that is new to me as all the others are windows that is going to just be there I guess till I figure more about it. It is making a web page for now on the Pi only but soon hope to have it on my website weather page with the rest of them

Bill.
