Caught unrecoverable exception in engine
Jan Sundström
Weatherstation is a Eurochron EFWS2900 (WH2900). The goal is to have Weewx running on the local network and nothing in cloud, ie I want WEEWX to take the information directly from the weatherstation.
Installed WEEWX, Interceptor and HP1000. Have tried different settings but no luck.
Dont know for sure that what I am trying i doable, but I have found examples with similar weatherstations.
