weewx looses connection randomly

[Darth Weber]

Hi - my weewx always looses connection after some days:

 weewx[3779] CRITICAL weewx.engine:     ****      return VantageService(engine, config_dict)

Jul 25 23:38:06 r2d2 python2[3779]: weewx[3779] CRITICAL weewx.engine:     ****    File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/drivers/vantage.py", line 1897, in __init__

Jul 25 23:38:06 r2d2 python2[3779]: weewx[3779] CRITICAL __main__:     ****  Exiting...

i just need to restart the service weewx -  and the service will be fine for several more days. My connection is via meteobridge.

any way to fix it or any idea for a workaround ?

many regards,

Tom
