When I look at the list of supported hardware drivers, I see the Vantage Vue only lists "Serial or USB" whereas the Vantage Pro 2 lists the "WeatherLink IP".
My Vantage Vue uses a WeatherLink IP, and I've been using the Davis Windows and Android Apps successfully for several years. But I would like to give Weewx a try. Am I correct in thinking there isn't a driver for my setup?

- what works
- what someone has figured out works
- what is in the wiki
and surely that is not entirely true!
From helping someone with a VP2 and a Weatherlink Live
https://www.davisinstruments.com/pages/weatherlink-live
and looking at Davis:
a) it looks like the WLL Davis-supports the Vue
b) I'd be surprised if the WLL driver doesn't work, or that it can't
be made to work with a few tweaks.
The "Weatherlink IP" is different from Weatherlink Live. But it seems
to be a device that is like a Weatherlink Serial except instead the
connection is proxied over TCP.
My guess is that it will just work.
Why don't you just try it and report back, and if it does, submit a
change request for the wiki? And if not, a high-quality request for
help with all the details of what you did and happens?

Ok, I gave it a try as suggested but no joy.
The install seemed to work fine and had no error or warning notices. However, weewx never posted any html file.
I looked at syslog and saw that the install did in fact fail. Here's the pertinent section:

I noticed it was trying to use port 22222 instead of port 80 which my normal Davis apps use. So, I changed the port to 80 in my weewx.conf file. Then I get this in the syslog file:

I think you need to be really clear on exactly what device you have,
- looking up docs on "weatherlink live" and "weatherlink ip"
- understaniing if it is on your network and what IP address it has
- port scan it and see what ports are open
- read the wiki and search forums to figure out what should be

I'm using a Davis Vantage Vue (number 6357), Davis Vantage Vue Console (number 6351), Davis WeatherLink Live (number 6100), and a Davis AirLink Air Quality (number 7210). The Davis WeatherLink Live operates on IP 192.168.1.23:80 and the
Davis AirLink operates on IP 192.168.1.42:80. This setup has been working fine for several years using the Davis PC and Android apps.
At this point I am just trying to get the WeatherLink Live working in Weewx and will try the AirLink later. The console is simply a display unit and isn't involved in IP.
You mentioned "port scan it and see what ports are open". I have also been accessing my WeatherLink Live successfully several years with a Python program I wrote that I use to log my weather data, so, yes, I can manually access my WeatherLink at 192.168.1.23:80 and have a fair understanding of how the WeatherLink Live works via IP.
You also mentioned reading the Wiki and search forums. Good advice, and I have found several references to the Davis Vantage Pro, particularly using serial connections as well as other older Davis com devices. But I haven't found anything relative to using a Vantage Vue and WeatherLink Live with Weewx.

That's helpful; earlier you said "WeatherLink IP". I dimly remember a

product which is like a USB or serial data logger but where you access
the serial port over TCP. But a "Weatherlink Live" (WLL) is a known device.
For the WLL, you need to use the driver that supports it, which is not
the regular Vantage driver that expects to talk the Davis serial
protocol.

Note the comment about same ethernet segment to receive UDP.

hoping that the interface from the computer to the WLL is the same in
the Vue/WLL case.
I'm guessing that once you use the right driver it will work.
