I am running a Meteobridge on a RPI3B since a year.
I had two GW1000s (Froggit branded) connected to it. On with an outdoor unit (Station 0/primary station) and another with 8 indoor temperature sensors (station 1).
I don't run frequent upgrades on the GW1000s/Meteobridge.

I upgraded the GW1000s on the 5th of May from V1.6.8 to V1.7.2.
The same time I restarted Meteobridge and let it upgrade itself.

On the following days I noticed strange things happening:
Primary station lost connection to MB, except rain data.
At the same time another RPI was getting information from the GW1000 in question via FOSHKplugin. The situation might recover after some time or change to the another GW1000 going offline.
At the same time, FOSHKplugin was actively and successfully communicating with both GW1000s.

After posting my question at https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=43923.0, I got some hints for further investigation.

It turned out, that MB is having a problem, if I have two GW1000s connected the same time via the "normal" GW1000 connection.
I was testing various combinations of Primary station and station 1: interchanging both as primary station, only one of them as primary or St1.
The same time I added an "Ecowitt uploader" for both stations from FOSHKplugin.
I had no errors when only one GW1000 was connected "directly", but always had a breakdown of on GW1000 if both connected. At the same time, the FOSHKplugin fed stations were running flawlessly.

Now I have disconnected Station 1 from MB, but would like to have it run without the FOSHKplugin.

Please investigate this issue and let me know, if you need further data for the investigation.

Can you provide my a remote login, so that I can check if your observation is true and if so why two simultaneous GW1000 are a problem?
Please mail remote login credentials to "info@meteobridge.com".

While inspecting the code I found something that might have caused this. Please give just released update a try.

Thank you for the quick reply and reaction.
I updated the system and configured Station 1 like before and sent you the requested credentials.
We will see by tomorrow, if your changes were successful.

During a power failure sometime last night my Rpi Ver4 updated to MB 5.4 (May 30 2022, build 2781) FW 1.3

It no long collects data from my 2 GW1000's. Does not report data to any weather sites I have selected including wunderground.

On the Primary and Station 1 it reports
Data logger will restart now, caused by configuration changes.
Error: IP of weather station needs to be specified.

will not save re-added IP address or configuration data restore.
It did accept (Ecowitt Custom Upload) but only reports

Just flat out stopped working.

@andyk1: I doubt it has to do with the latest update as I did not change anything regarding the GUI and the updated code works fine for the double GW1000 setup I tested it with. If you provide me credentials, I can have a detailed look.

Hello

I sent credentials via "info@meteobridge.com".

Hello!!!

I see you rebooted my RPI and it installed a newer version. Problem solved. All I did was enter the IP's of the GW1000's and working fine it seems.

Thank You.

Andy

Yes, issue was not related to latest update but was some interference with your WLAN operation including bridging the Ethernet port. It should be fixed with just released update.

I don't run frequent upgrades on the GW1000s/Meteobridge.

I upgraded the GW1000s on the 5th of May from V1.6.8 to V1.7.2.

I also run 2 GW1000's and 1 GW1100. I from time to time would run into similar issues and a reboot of the particular GW devise would solve it. I haven't pinned down the problem but issue goes away after a reboot.

The update from yesterday solved the issue for me.
Both GW1000s were working today without interruption.
