Config settings for Acurite 1536

[Ken F]

Hello,

I'm new to weewx and am trying to setup a basic weewx instance on a Raspberry Pi 4 to connect to my Costco Acurite 1536. At this point I'd just like to know how others have made this work.  I've already searched this group and find plenty of references from people who have the 1536 working but I can't seem to find anything basic such as which Acurite hardware to specify.  Since 1536 is not listed in the hardware list I am hoping it's just as simple as specifying one of the others and it will just work.  When I entered 01536 during the setup portion of the install it seems to start and then die so no need for me to post a portion of the system log.  If it matters I did the standard Pi install using apt-get and it's installed in the standard /etc... path.  Thanks much for anyone who can help.

In the weewx.conf file, do you have the following:

[Station]

    

    # Description of the station location

    location = Multiple SDR/Ext Sensor Test w Console

    

    # Latitude in decimal degrees. Negative for southern hemisphere

    latitude = XX.XXXX

    # Longitude in decimal degrees. Negative for western hemisphere.

    longitude = -XX.XXXX

    

    # Altitude of the station, with unit it is in. This is downloaded from

    # from the station if the hardware supports it.

    altitude = 1703, foot    # Choose 'foot' or 'meter' for unit

    

    # Set to type of station hardware. There must be a corresponding stanza

    # in this file with a 'driver' parameter indicating the driver to be used.

    station_type = AcuRite

    

    # If you have a website, you may specify an URL

    #station_url = http://www.example.com

    

    # The start of the rain year (1=January; 10=October, etc.). This is

    # downloaded from the station if the hardware supports it.

    rain_year_start = 1

    

    # Start of week (0=Monday, 6=Sunday)

    week_start = 6

[AcuRite]

    # The station model, e.g., 'AcuRite 01025' or 'AcuRite 02032C'

    model = AcuRite 01035

    

    # The driver to use:

    driver = weewx.drivers.acurite
