RFXCOM Problems after Meteohub upgrade

[hasteiner]

Hi,

I've been running Meteohub 4.5 with an RFXCOM receiver for some years now.

Over the weekend, I finally upgraded to 4.9a. I also moved from an ALIX system to VMware ESX 5.0.

Since this change, I am having a significant issue with the RFXCOM.

Whenever I do anything that forces data logging to restart, Meteohub cannot connect to the RFXCOM Unit again, displaying the following message on the Sensors page:

Code: Select all

error receive data from socket 127.0.0.1:5555: Resource temporarily unavailable
Warning: Data logging has been halted.

This problem is resolved by power-cycling the RFXCOM unit, at which point data logging resumes straight away and sensors become visible again.

It sounds like Meteohub does not properly close the TCP connection to the RFXCOM unit when restarting data logging, or when Meteohub is rebooted?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
Hugo

Opps.

Upgrade Advise: Always shut down your old Meteohub properly before wondering why the new one cannot connect to the weather station reliably.

Having said that however, I am still having issues with USB to my WMR-200 and have all but given up on using this station to get Barometer data. If anyone has some useful tips on USB related problems with VMWare, please let me know.

Thanks
