MB Nano SD reporting Weather Station value to weewx

[staze]

Curious if there's anyone using weewx with an MB Nano SD and a Vantage Vue. I just set up weewx, and have it talking over LOOP/LOOP2 packets, and weewx thinks my station is a Vantage Pro 2. The dev for weewx says the station info is read from EEPROM on the station.

Looking at wee_device, I can see indeed the Envoy (either natively or through the MB) is reporting as a Vantage Pro 2... which means Weewx is going to assume certain sensors that aren't there.

Is there any way to set the station to a Vantage Vue (specifically) in MB?

From WeeWX dev:

The hardware type is determined by the WRD command. You can check what it's returning by setting debug=1, then restarting. Look at the log. The hardware type will be listed and look something like:

May 12 15:22:59 nuc weewx[91691] DEBUG weewx.drivers.vantage: Hardware type is 16

For whatever reason, yours must be returning 16, the code for the VantagePro series.

Would be nice if we could specify it's a Vue, or possibly have MB determine that and set appropriately.

fwiw, here's thread with weewx dev: https://groups.google.com/g/weewx-user/c/3exN5P1US0Y

This appears to be expected behavior and is a weewx issue, not MB.
