overloading gw1000?

[Graham Eddy]

every 24 hours or so recently my gw1000 has become unresponsive and required a power cycle.
i am not only polling it every 20 secs in production weewx instance, i am also polling it every 20 secs in two more test weewx instances → i think i am overloading it. just because the api is there doesn’t mean it can be hammered continuously...

I don't think that that's a phenomenon to be generalized.
My GW1000s (s !) are running with weewx (API) and Meteobridge (API)
being polled every 10 seconds without getting stuck.

There must be another reason for this behavior, maybe an instability in
the power grid (if it's not buffered by a proper UPS for the GW1000),
maybe an older firmware (actual is 1.6.6), maybe something in your local
network or router (it may get stuck if it cannot synchronize with
ecowitt.net) - or you got a Friday model - not to be excluded, this also
happens or something else.
But I doubt that an overload from the weewx end is the reason for this
behavior.

Did you check the FineOffset clone board on wxforum.net ?

There are many posts already there in this regard. Some search is
required though.
Or open a post there ? The issue is likely not to be weewx related.

i’m not sure what is being comparing to. in my case, it is one gw1000 being polled from three different locations independently each at 20 sec intervals
