Stuck on Simulator and have empty queue.

[O S]

Hello all,

I am new to weewx and I know basic command line stuff, with a basic understanding of linux in general.

I have installed weewx on debian (Bookworm) using the command line and sudo apt install weewx on a R-Pi version 1 that I had laying around. I am using Apache2 as the web server that I followed an online guide for installation of, and it works straight out of the box with no need to manually point it to the pages I want served.

I initially configured it to use the Simulator and have now added my hardware (Ecowitt) and i would like to swap it over. I have followed the guide, configuring it weewx.conf under [Station] and [Interceptor], using port = 8000 and device type = ecowitt-client.

Despite restarting weewx, the simulator is still being displayed when I visit http://my.ip/weewx.

Another thing is that when I view the logs by running sudo journalctl -u weewx -f | tee /tmp/mylog, and then (in a different terminal) sudo systemctl start weewx, I get the following line reported over and over in the logs: Dec 20 13:40:20 weewx-pi weewxd[1016]: DEBUG user.interceptor: empty queue.

I hope that's enough information to help and I am happy to provide more if needed.

I've been battling with things for some time and I have managed to fix a couple of errors but I am stumped here.

thank you for this awesome project and i would very much like to get it working!

All the best :)

Did you set up your ecowitt device to send data to the weewx machine? Which ecowitt device are you using?

What model Ecowitt do you have specifically ?    Do you really need to use interceptor ?  Will the original GW1000 driver perhaps work with your model ?

Hi Michael, Vince, all appears to be working now, I think!

Thank you, Michael - the issue was that I hadn't adjusted the settings in the gateway (using a GW1200 gateway), as you rightly suggested. All done now and please see the image below:

When visiting 192.168.1.49/weewx, it is now displaying information from my station - thanks so much. The only issue I see is that when I SSH in to the PI, I don't see /data/report/, so I am guessing I should fix this by adding that file path under root?

My logs are here: https://pastebin.com/eGmNfhgL and I do notice:

Dec 20 18:41:31 weewx-pi weewxd[1111]: INFO weewx.reportengine: Copied 0 files to /var/www/html/weewx
Dec 20 18:41:31 weewx-pi weewxd[1111]: DEBUG weewx.reportengine: Report 'SmartphoneReport' not enabled. Skipping.
Dec 20 18:41:31 weewx-pi weewxd[1111]: DEBUG weewx.reportengine: Report 'MobileReport' not enabled. Skipping.
Dec 20 18:41:31 weewx-pi weewxd[1111]: DEBUG weewx.reportengine: Report 'StandardReport' not enabled. Skipping.

... the "INFO" one at the top, is that the path I am supposed to have instead of /data/report/, in the gateway settings (above image)?

Sorry, I am a bit confused here!

If it works, I wouldn't change anything.  My guess is you'll find that /data/report directory as /var/www/html/data/report on your pi.
