Marco, Your version 1.0.8 fixed the connection issue I was experiencing. All is well now! Thanks for the quick response and update. Again, your Vantage Pro 2 MQTT is awesome. It is so nice to have my Davis Weather Vantage Pro2 integrated with Home Assistant.

44

I updated to 1.0.8. If I do a restart the Add-on gets data from the weather station and updates the entities as expected, but it never updates them again. In the log it looks like it is reading from the weather station just fine in each interval and says it passes the data to MQTT. I donā€™t see any errors in MQTT. I have tried restarting everything with no luck.

Does the log show more information after Data sent to MQTT? And what interval did you use in de configuration?

46

Hola. Ya si actualiza en Weatherlink. Desde que he actualizado me aparecen mediciones puntuales de viento errĆ³neas, siempre con un mismo valor 410,4 Km/h. Al principio era en varios sensores, ahora solo en la velocidad media del viento. Le estĆ” pasando a alguien?

PodrĆ­a incluir la unidad de la radiaciĆ³n solar (w/m2). Un saludo y gracias.

That is where the log ends until the next cycle. Below is the log from one cycle to the next. I currently have it set to 75 seconds. My station uploads to weatherlink every 60 seconds so I wanted to be off to avoid some conflicts.

For some added debug information, I saw the issue ronrose77 is experiencing. I set my ā€œintervalā€ to 60 and can see the same thing. I have been using an interval of 10 and that seems to work just fine for my set up.

49

FYI, I reset my interval back to the default of 30 and it looks to be updating now.

50

@ronrose77
I think I fixed the issue where MQTT didnā€™t get updated if an interval of 60 seconds or more is used. Please give it a try.

51

Looks to be working now with the interval set backup to 75. Thanks!

52

thanks for the reply, i have no idea what happens with my HA but i ended up restarting a few times and it seems to be running now ( green dot) and getting all the info thats on the display also.
Thanks again

Hi Marcos, will PyVantagePro communicate with a Davis Vantage Vue running with a serial to USB data logger?

54

If itā€™s a WeatherLink datalogger, then yes, it probably will. I donā€™t own a Vue myself.

55

My apologies should have finished reading all the posts, I did get it communicating with my Vue.
I did have an error and had to amend line 85 of the main.py file to get things working for me.
I changed print args.start too print (ā€˜args.startā€™) Hope that wonā€™t cause any other issues as I continue to experiment with your work?
Thank you for all your work and supportā€¦ I have been looking for something like this for quite a while!

56

Marco, I have pyvanatgepo installed and pulling data through my serial connection. I have Home Assistant Core and eclipse-mosquitto installed and connected in a Debian Docker environment. HA core will not let me add your repository to install Vantage Pro 2 MQTT to make the final connection. Are there other options to Vantage Pro 2 MQTT? This is all very new too meā€¦

57

You donā€™t need to install pyvantagepro yourself. By installing the add-on you install a container within HA. The add-on will use the pyvantagepro which is already installed within the container.
Which error did you get when installing the add-on within HA?

58

When I click the ā€œAdd Repositoryā€ link above, says this site cannot provide a secure connection. I tried to manually add the Repository from inside HA as a custom Repository, and HA tells me the Repository structure for master is not compliant. Is there a set of command line instructions to install your container that way?

59

Thinking because I am running HA Core which does not include the ā€œSupervisorā€ function. I am unable to install Add-Ons in the traditional way.

60

Iā€™m sorry, I use HAOS myself and installing custom repoā€™s isnā€™t a problem. Maybe someone else in the community can help you out,

61

Just installed the most recent version of the add-on and Iā€™m really looking forward to getting this working.
Somehow, the add-on keeps stopping due to a write issue. The debug-log shows the following (removed the password (replace by ā€˜cutā€™).

The system is a Davis Vantage Pro 2, with an IP adapter in the console. IP adress of the console is 192.168.1.187, of HA it is 192.168.1.185
I do read out the console with Virtual Weather Station trough port 22222, based on the MAC adress. This has been working flawlessly for over 5 years. The sample rate is every 1.0 seconds as it rapid-fires into WeatherUnderground.

Nonetheless, I would like to use my local data in Home Assistant to use the data on a dashboard and to trigger automations. This addon seems the perfect fit, if I can get it to work :wink:

I not sure because I donā€™t own a WeatherLink IP myself. Is the VantagePro2MQTT currently the only software reading the vantage pro?
