Hello -

for some moments today, the upgraded weewx system worked just fine.

Unfortunately, not for long time ...

The MQTT driver from https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-mqtt exits with this message

I made yesterday a copy of my weewx.sdb. I just pushed the copy on my raspi and now everything is solved!

I am happy - eventhough I do not know what happened ...

The error message says the database one unit system and weewx.conf is the other. One of them is US, the other one is METRIC. That is not possible.

unless, i guess, the weewx.conf unit system is changed after data had already been stored under previous unit system

Thank you for the feedback.

Today, I did perform a new install from scratch and - I think - during the initial weewx install, I was to quick in accepting the default values. And they include US unit.
In today's fresh install, I changed it to METRIC and, so far, it is running smoothly :)
