Hi,  
Bonjour Didier, i'm french too :)

Is the service perhaps activated twice? Check weewx.conf and skin.conf.

Can you tell me how you got the alerts? My Raspberry Pi's SD card failed after several power outages this week. I don't have a backup, and I reinstalled everything on an SSD, but this part, as well as the forecasts, isn't working. If you can help me, that would be great; otherwise, I'll start a new thread.

Thanks.

Different times and different locations as far as I can tell.
It's one of those things that happens when weather alerts are enabled. Sometimes if you are near a boundary, you'll get the same alert for both areas.
It's why I disabled the alerts.

Hi Cedric
This problem is not systematic, it appears sometimes, it's not a problem of service.

To show alert, you need to write in weewx.conf
            show_last_updated_alert = 1
and forecasts
            # Forecast defaults
            forecast_enabled = 1
            forecast_provider = aeris
            forecast_api_id = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
            forecast_api_secret = yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
            forecast_units = ca
            forecast_interval_hours = 0    # values are 0,1,3 or 24
            forecast_lang = fr
            forecast_stale = 3540
            forecast_aeris_use_metar = 1
            forecast_alert_enabled = 1
            forecast_alert_limit = 5
            forecast_show_daily_forecast_link = 0
            forecast_daily_forecast_link = ""


With xxxxxxxxxxxx and yyyyyyyyyyyyy your api identifier and "password" for aeris forecasts

Hi Didier,
Regarding your problem, have you tried disabling   forecast_alert_enabled = 1   ?
According to the documentation, this option (set to 1) only works for the US and Canada, but it also works with MQTT, so that might be the source of the duplicate...
For me, I have the same configuration, but nothing works.
I'm going to start a new thread because I'm using the latest version of Belchertown v1.6.
Thanks.
