Error Reading GW1100

[Mitchell Tuckness]

Hi All,

I could use some help. I have weewx running on Ubuntu and I had an electrician out to replace a plug that had overheated. Anyway, after he left (we had to shut power off to the  area he worked on) I noticed that the webpage wasns't doing the live updates for the weather. I checked everything I could to see if it was hardware was unplugged, or shut off, but I havent seen anything. So I thought maybe the GW100 gateway was having issues and I had purchased a GW1100 gateway a while ago, so I hooked it up and configured it. 

I can login to the Gw1100 and it sees all the sensors, but I am getting errors from the WEEWX server. I could use some help diagnosing this. It has been a while since I created the website and while I remember some, I don't remember it all. Appreciate it! Here is some of the errors from the syslog:

Does anyone have some ideas to help point me in the right direction on this?

[Graham Eddy]

this says weewx box is broadcasting query for any gw1000 devices to respond with their MAC address but no answer → make sure weewx box and gw1000 device on same lan

Are you using the auto setting in weewx.conf? If so try changing to the IP address of your gateway device.

Following on, hers is my open gw1000 stanza in whew.conf: -

[GW1000]

    # This section is for the Ecowitt Gateway driver.

    

    # How often to poll the API, default is every 20 seconds:

    poll_interval = 4

    

    # The driver to use:

    driver = user.gw1000

    # gateway device IP address:

    ip_address = 192.168.1.89

    port = 45000

    

    [[field_map_extensions]]

        batteryStatus1 = wh65_batt

        barometer = relbarometer

Verify the ip address on your 'new' gateway is what is in weewx.conf

[Mitchell Tuckness]

I got it! I added the new one and confirmed it and it is working. It seems I had two issues that just happened to happen at the same time. One was the GW1000 lost its connection, then the GW1100 was giving me some issues and then the SSL certificate on the MQTT interface died and I forgot to copy the updated certificate to the MQTT server, sigh.

Thanks for all the help everyone.
