Tempest Weatherflow replacement - weewx not picking it up

[David Levine]

I needed to replace my Tempest Weatherflow device. I followed their instructions (below). The Tempest app, my TidByt, and my wfpiconsole all worked without adjustments.

WeeWX seems to not be picking up the change. It has been a long time since I installed/configured weewx and I'm not sure what I need to adjust based on the below steps to replace the old one with the new one showing under the old ST-xxxxxxxx reference in the Tempest settings . I am running weewx on a Raspberry Pi. 

Any thoughts on what to troubleshoot/adjust?

Steps followed as provided by Weatherflow support:
Connecting the new device to your station Hub
Use the app to connect your new device to your station Hub. There is a 'Replace Device' button in the app which will swap the new device in the old device's place. This will preserve the device data history. Please follow these instructions carefully...
 

1. Turn on the new device. The LED should eventually slowly blink green, indicating it is in pairing mode. If the LED does not stay blinking green, press and hold the LED button until it flashes to reset the device.
2. Open the app, go to Settings > Stations > (choose your station) > Manage Devices > (select the device you are replacing) > Advanced > Replace Device.
3. The new device will appear on screen, choose the new device to finish connecting it. 
4. The LED on the base of the Tempest should flash green and then go out, indicating it has successfully paired to the Hub. Then you can check the app for current observation data.

Note: The new device will retain the old device's name (which may be defaulted to the old serial number). You can rename the new device: go to settings > stations > choose your station > manage devices > choose the Tempest device > tap the name to edit.

Your tempest sensor replacement has a different ST-nnnnnn serial number so you need to edit weewx.conf so the driver listens for the new sensor id.

Thank you Vince. I initially changed the ST-xxxxxxxx number to the new last 4 digits that were on the bottom of the replacement device, but that was not the entirety of the number. I found where to look up on the web status page to get the new number. I didn't notice it was available on the iPhone app but I could have missed it. Once I adjusted the weewx.conf with the complete replacement serial # and restarted weewx, all seems good. 

Now I need to edit the archive data and remove the bogus values the old device was still sending the past couple of days. 

Thanks again Vince.
