Hi everyone.
i am having a problem with the Weather Radio 3rd driver.
After update the 3rd party driver to the latest version (1.14) and the firmware of the ESP8266 that I am running my weather station on to 1.15, the driver stop refresh weather reading randomly (sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after 2 or 3 update cycle). If I press refresh button in INDI interface then the sensors updates just once but they wont automatically update with interval like they supposed to.
I am connecting via TCP and the driver worked great before update. Anyone having the same problem as I am?

Hm, that's strange. What happens if you access the ESP8266 directly through a browser?

Maybe it's a problem with the INDI version. Did you try the latest 1.9.1?

Another thing, maybe you haven't noticed it:
I did some refactorings for the python scripts (which aren't documented in the manual currently). The biggest change was the introduction of an INI file replacing the configuration via wr_config.py The new weatherradio.ini is expected to be either in /usr/local/share/weatherradio or in /etc. An example is placed in the sources under indi-duino/add-on/weatherradio/weatherradio.ini.

Thanks Wolfgang,
i am using indi 1.8.9. 1.9.1 is nightly build right?
if i access the esp8266 via browser then the JSON shows everytime. As I was saying the sensor update just fine, as long as I was pressing the refresh button.

I updated to the nightly build and the problem persists. Here is the log file. Do you have the 1.13 driver? I want to try to build the driver again see if it solve the problem.

I'm afraid you need to build it from the sources, if you want to switch to a previous version. Checkout commit 66f45a2f58026aa13b8a8debff585a8e34fccf50 from indi-3rdparty and build it. You can get it from here: github.com/indilib/indi-3rdparty

So if I build the indilib from commit 91bcd531c4631805d24d38343692fb8acf8fff6a (1.8.9 release) and downgrade the weatherradio firmware+ driver to 1.12 then the parameter updates fine. But if I keep the indilib at 1.9.0 then the weather does not auto refresh no matter what driver/firmware of weatherradio that I use.
So any bug if there are any must be on the indilib core right?

Is anyone working on fixing this bug?
