Interceptor receives empty packets - Netcat don't....

[Ingper]

I have an issue to receive the data from my new weather station ((FineOffset clone, Eurochron WS2900) that is sent through my local network to a Raspberry Pi running Weewx.

The station (IP 192.168.0.11 below) is configured to send according to WU protocol but to the (static) IP of my R-Pi 192.168.0.160 and port 8000. The problem is that Interceptor receives something but the packets are empty. 

If I instead use Netcat to monitor the port, correct data is received each 60s (it's no row brake after GET, forum editor adds that):

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo nc -l 8000

GET ID=EMCO&PASSWORD=1234&indoortempf=70.0&tempf=69.8&dewptf=56.1&windchillf=69.8&indoorhumidity=59&humidity=62&windspeedmph=0.0&windgustmph=0.0&winddir=356&absbaromin=29.076&baromin=29.912&rainin=0.000&dailyrainin=0.000&weeklyrainin=0.000&monthlyrainin=0.000&solarradiation=0.00&UV=0&dateutc=2019-10-24%2016:24:42&softwaretype=EasyWeatherV1.4.4&action=updateraw&realtime=1&rtfreq=5 HTTP/1.0

Host: 192.168.0.160

Accept:*/*

Connection: Close

But this data never reach Weewx through Interceptor, and the weewx debug info shows that Interceptor queue is always empty. By running Interceptor alone and directly (below in debug mode) it shows that something really is happening/received each 60s (the result, four last rows, are written each 60 s), but it's empty:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/weewx python /usr/share/weewx/user/interceptor.py --port=8000 --debug --device=observer --mode=listen

identifiers: {}

raw data: 

raw packet: {'usUnits': 16, 'dateTime': 1571935276}

mapped packet: {'usUnits': 16, 'dateTime': 1571935276}

And if I instead use Tcpdump, I also get packets with no data (or at least not the weather station data, only the necessary communication related, I think). And also a little bit too often, each 16 s, but nothing additional as long as the data i see with Netcat each 60s:

It's the same behaviour regardless if I use eth0 or wlan0 interface on my Pi. Version of Interceptor is 0.46 (latest). Have also tried different device settings in Interceptor, but because already the raw data is missing it may be irrelevant. 

But the weather station seems to be correct configured and transmits everything ok I think, otherwise the data could not have been captured by Netcat on my Pi. But why is it then filtered out (?) before it gets to Tcpdump or Interceptor, what is the difference in interface handling compared to Netcat ?

I'm VERY thankful if somebody could help. I have spent days on this now. Have a faulty station that should be replaced ASAP (Renkforce/FineOffset 2315) that only worked ok for few weeks. But it was USB interface on that (=easier ;-).

Update:

If I change the output format from Weather station to "Ecowitt" Interceptor will find the info, even though it is in "wu-client" or "observer" format.

This is the raw data captured with Netcat:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo nc -l 8000

....and this is what Interceptor now receives (in debug mode):

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/weewx python /usr/share/weewx/user/interceptor.py --port=8000 --debug --device=observer --mode=listen

Why ?  What's the problem/difference to the WU format that makes it not even pass through to Interceptor ?  Ok, I now get the data to Weewx but it don't feel right. (Btw before changing to "Ecowitt" I also tested with a new, fresh clear installation of R-Pi img etc, but it was the same).

Thanks in advance for all ideas...

How was this problem solved? I have exactly the same problem, although in my case it doesn't help changing to "Ecowitt".

My problem is now solved, thanks to this link: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/weewx-user/OocmnyeIhbM/I-yHmyabCAAJ.

The reason for the problem was obviously a change of format in EasyWeather. Installing interceptor-0.54b.py took care of this.
