WeeWX 4.6.2 Working Well

[gary....@gmail.com]

With the rapid succession of releases, I just wanted to say that my upgrade to 4.6.2 went well and all is working with the VP2, WifiLogger2, and Belchertown skin.

Thanks for an amazing system!

Hi Gary,

I have just upgraded my setup to  VP2, WifiLogger2, and Belchertown skin as well. Would you mind sharing your configuration setup in weewx to grab data from the WifiLogger2? Are you also using the interceptor driver for this config?

Thanks!

No, no need for anything other than the in-built driver.

Pretty self explanatory once you config with the Davis driver.

Thanks, Gary! you were right it was pretty self-explanatory and much more straightforward than using the sniffer. I am now up and running with VP2, Weewx 4.9.1, WifiLogger2, and Belchertown skin 1.3b2.
