Using Meteo-Pi-Ethernet Logger now get 'Unable to wake up Vantage console'

[Curtis Esac]

I have had weewx  4.10.2  working fine with my Meteo-Pi-Ethernet Logger, now  after starting weewx I get:

With my web-browser I can view the Meteo-Pi_Ethernet Logger web page directly and it is working and gives current wx data.  Since it stopped working I have added '--loop-on-init' to 'DAEMON_ARGS' in /etc/init.d/weewx and also 'loop_on_init = True' near the top of /etc/weewx/weewx.conf.

I don't mess with weewx much, it has just worked, so I am a noob at trying to track this down.

Thanks for any help.

From the small log snippet that you provided it looks like weewx was able to successfully download at least one record. Then it failed. So, this is an intermittent problem? If so, the --loop-on-init flag won't make any difference.

Could be anything. I don't have any experience with the Meteo-Pi logger. Have you asked the Meteo people?

Thanks Tom, that will be my next thing to try contacting Meteo-Pi. 

I also just got a new Raspberry Pi 5 (currently weewx is on a Raspberry Pi Zeor 2 W), so I'm going to put weewx 5 on it and start fresh and see if that works.

Thanks!

I doubt a reinstall will make any difference, unless the Zero has some kind of weird intermittent firewall set up.
