No updates after sensor failure and replacement

[Dan Roman]

I have weewx running for over a year on a Pi 3 running debian 10.13.  I am using a Tempest sensor and the weatherflowudp.  My sensor died and I have replaced it using the replace feature, which duplicates the old sensor by duplicating the name, so all my config files can remain unchanged.  I am also using wfpiconsole and that picked up seamlessly when the new sensor came online.  I have not changed /etc/weewx/weewx.conf

I have stopped/started and rebooted, but there are no data updates.  The syslog after starting is below.  My last data update was from January 9 at 7:55 pm local time and when I look at the  /var/www/html/weewx/ folder and the FTP folder on an external webserver everything is frozen at the January 9 7:55 time.

Where can I look or what can I do to get this going again?  I don't see any errors that jump out to me in the syslog.

Thanks,

Dan

Each Tempest has a unique ID. If you replaced your Tempest sensor, your ST-00044122 is now incorrect and you need to edit weewx.conf to use the new sensor's device ID so the driver looks for readings from 'that' new device.

[Dan Roman]

Thanks Vince, but the Tempest phone app has a replacement feature that renames the new unit to the old sensor so that history is not lost.  My new sensor is now also  ST-00044122 when I look at it in the phone app, and as I mentioned, the wfpiconsole works like a charm without any changes to the configuration, just left it as  ST-00044122 and it works fine.  Something else is going on.

Dan

[vince]

If you're running weewx with the reference driver, you're listening to the UDP which has the sensor id in it.

If you're running wfpiconsole, you're connecting to the WF REST interface for your station.  I think they're different.

Just for grins, substitute in the new tempest id in weewx, restart weewx, and see if magic happens.  It's already not working, so you can't break anything by doing a quick test.  Alternately run my listener program and see what UDP is coming across the LAN (or run a sniffer or equivalent).

[Dan Roman]

Yep, you were right Vince.  Once I used your listener to see the packets it is indeed using the serial number burned into the firmware and not the "name" of the device, which was renamed to the serial number of my old device.  Weewx is collecting data again.

Thanks!
