Unable to disable simulator drive

[seesix]

I have installed the byows driver on the latest version of weewx running buster on pi3b.

I have restarted the weewx service but when i load the web gui

http://localhost/weewx

It displays data from the simulator driver.

List Drivers returns

pi@weatherpi:~ $ wee_config --list-drivers Module name Driver name Version Status

weewx.drivers.ws23xx WS23xx 0.41

Is there something else i need to do?

this is from my weewx.conf

seesix, In your weewx.conf file make sure to specify your new driver in the following places...

Under the [Station] section edit the station_type line to read: station_type = BYOWS

...and add a new section at the bottom of the file to read: [BYOWS] driver = user.byows_rpi

Now stop/restart WeeWX and refresh your web page. You might have to give it up to 5 minutes or so to generate new data and present it to the web server.

Things to note: -- The station type value (BYOWS in this case) MUST match exactly the new section name you add. -- "byows_rpi" should be the name of your driver file minus the extension. -- The user. prefix indicates the file resides in /home/weewx/bin/user. You could copy it to the "drivers" directory but this is overwritten during upgrades -- best to put it in bin/user.

And one more thing, while the "driver" line is required, you can also add optional lines to set values for your driver. For example, you can set values for your BME280 module (if you have one) -- so underneath the driver= line you would add something like:

bme280_port = 1 bme280_address = 0x77

If these are duplicates of lines in the driver, they will overwrite values set in the driver file. Some find this more convenient than editing the driver itself. You can add as many of these optional lines as you want...

Good luck.
