Vantage Vue: is it possible to poll the data from the station every minute?

[Paolo Benvenuto]

I have a Vantage Vue station, and I were polling it every 300 seconds, 5 minutes

Trying to poll the data from the station every minute, I changed archive_interval = 60 in weewx,conf, but the data are still fetched every 5 minutes.

What am I missing?

For the Vantage Vue, the archive interval is downloaded from the station. You must set it there. You can use the utility wee_device with the --set-interval option to do this.

ok, it work! thank you!

However, the first time I got an error:

paolo@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo wee_device --set-interval=1

Using configuration file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf

    raise weewx.RetriesExceeded("While getting EEPROM data value at address 0x%X" % offset)

While the second try didn't:

paolo@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo wee_device --set-interval=1
Using configuration file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf
Using Vantage driver version 3.0.11 (weewx.drivers.vantage)
Old archive interval is 5 minutes, new one will be 1 minutes.
Proceeding will change the archive interval as well as erase all old archive records.
Are you sure you want to proceed (y/n)? y
Archive interval now set to 60 seconds.
Archive records cleared.

is it something to worry about?

Did you stop WeeWX before running the utility?

[Paolo Benvenuto]

ok, perhaps that was the reason
