WeatherflowUDP not loading sensor_map #22

Open foilandwater opened 1 year ago

foilandwater commented 1 year ago

Hi,

I have been fiddling with a problem for a few hours and I finally need to resort to some advice. I am not a coder but I'm familiar with weewx and the weatherflow udp extension as I have it running successfully on a few raspberry pi's. I also have it running on one Mac Mini and this is the one that is confusing me.

Currently, weewx is installed and working. If I put it on 'Simulator' then it works and broadcasts to windguru. If I change to 'WeatherFlowUDP' then nothing happens. From the log it seems to me like the sensor_map is not being loaded, but I've made sure the [[sensor_map]] section is in the weewx.conf - also important to note that I've confirmed that the Mac mini and the base station of the weather station are on the same network and I can also ping successfully. Any suggestions?

Here's the weatherflow section in my weewx.conf https://www.dropbox.com/s/jxa1fxiad0kb4v8/sample_sensor_map.rtf?dl=0

Here's the output from the weewx.log https://www.dropbox.com/s/15xiak0qe05fzl6/sample_weewx_log.rtf?dl=0

Python is extremely picky about indenting in the config file.  The [[sensor_map]] header needs to be indented the same as the lines above.  Hopefully the fix is that easy...

Thank you for the suggestion, that solved it. Really appreciate you taking the time to help me! Also very interesting to learn something new everyday, I will never make that error again.

Hi,

A few months ago you helped me to realise that the [[sensor_map]] was not indented correctly and that fixed the problem. Now, somehow I am back at this problem and I'm trying to trouble shoot. Here is the summary:

Please let me know if you have any good ideas?
