Interceptor stopped working intermittently - empty queue

[Uwe S.]

Hi all,

i do have an Ecowitt HP2551 and pulling the data via WeeWX Interceptor running as ecowitt-client.

Since this morning Weewx Interceptor shows only "empty queue" with debugging enabled.
local Website is not updated and no data is uploaded to any of the web services.

Below is my logfile after i've restarted the weewx service. What can i do to get it back working?
Device is a Raspberry 4 with Raspberry OS Bullseye installed. Worked for 2 weeks without issues

Tried reinstalling Interceptor, but the problem remain the same

Today i also reinstalled the whole device (Raspberry OS) including a fresh install of WeeWX and the Interceptor driver. No success, the debug still shows "empty queue". Any ideas would be appreciated

That is the section of the weewx.conf:

The weatherstation is set to the given port 8100 and the IP adress of the Raspberry.

As said, it was working before and stopped somewhere in the middle of the day. No reboot in between, nothing touched as i wasn't even at home at this time.

I guess, either the station console stopped sending data packets or you have some network/firewall issue, maybe an auto-update on the router? But first, have you tried rebooting the display console? Is it online and actively uploading to ecowitt/wu? Do you use multiple subnetworks or access points? Is the Raspberry reachable from within the network? (ping, or webserver/apache if installed, ...) If no, Is the raspberry online/e.g can you open webpages or ping your network from it? Does it appear in your router DHCP client list? Does the station console appear in the router DHCP list? And did you already try to reboot the router? You could also try to specify the IP in the interceptor definitions of the conf file (IP of your Raspberry).

You could also install FOSHKplugin and see if it gets any data.
