insufficient permissions in driver TE923

[Jörg Saalfeld]

I'm currently trying to install V5 with a TFA Nexus. The TE923 does not have enough rights to start correctly and to query the device, which is there with LSUSB? What can you do ?

Jan 17 00:24:28 weewx weewxd[3265]: INFO weewx.drivers.te923: Found device on USB bus= device=
Jan 17 00:24:28 weewx weewxd[3265]: ERROR weewx.drivers.te923: release interface failed: [Errno 13] Access denied (insufficient permissions)

Add the user it is running as to a group that has access to the device.

On a pi this is group 'dialout' but I have no idea what your configuration requires.  You did not say what hardware you are on, which os, which version, nor how your station is connected to the computer running weewx.

Hi Jörg,

take a look at https://github.com/weewx/weewx/blob/master/src/weewx_data/util/udev/rules.d/weewx.rules (or in the file in your weewx-data folder) and follow the instructions.
