Just bought a license for a TP-Link MR3020 latest version (no USB hub).
The MR3020 talks to a Davis Vantage Vue Prro2 and is in a LAN behind a 4G router. It sends requests every minute to populate a log file on a VPS I control.
I don't believe it might have any relation (Meteobridge certainly does not use it to send its requests), but this LAN and the VPS are linked with an SSH tunnel.
So, if i push the Test button in Services / Events, nothing arrives in the log file on the VPS.
If I copy the request in my browser and send it - I am in the same LAN, behind the same 4G router - I see the data arriving in the log file.
How do I access the Meteobridge system so that I can debug what's happening ?
Here are the logs, which don't look too good :
logger (02.04.2026 18:07:21): station 0 (Vantage), transmitter 1 active as station type #0 "ISS".
logger (02.04.2026 18:07:21): station 0 (Vantage), transmitter 2 active as station type #7 "Soil".

New Meteobridge license, Testing Events go nowhere

Re: New Meteobridge license, Testing Events go nowhere
1) After logging as root into Meteobridge / OpenWrt, doing a wget HTTP... and a wget HTTPS... it appears that the network stack does NOT support HTTPS, as compiled.
Is this specific to the MR3020 ? If yes, I can't remember having read that in the docs. Would it be different in a Raspberry Pi ?
Anyway, if I do this "wget HTTP..." from the command line, the request does show in the Apache logs of the receiveng end, a VPS.
But if I hit the test button in Services / Events, nothing appears.
2) I still have these errors in the logs :
test5m (03.04.2026 09:30:18): weathernet daemon stalled, will be restarted now.
logger (03.04.2026 09:30:54): open named pipe "/dev/meteobridge" failed: Invalid argument
logger (03.04.2026 09:36:02): message above repeats 5 times.
test5m (03.04.2026 09:36:29): weathernet daemon stalled, will be restarted now.
logger (03.04.2026 09:37:04): open named pipe "/dev/meteobridge" failed: Invalid argument
These 2 failures are linked ? What could cause this ?

Re: New Meteobridge license, Testing Events go nowhere
Well, I rebooted meteobridge, the log errors disappeared and the services Test button works now : My God ! Is there a Windows subsystem in there ?
