Hi lamda,

for me it worked with those settings in WeeWx.conf.

Code:

##############################################################################

[Vantage]
    # This section is for the Davis Vantage series of weather stations.
    
    # Connection type: serial or ethernet
    #  serial (the classic VantagePro)
    #  ethernet (the WeatherLinkIP or Serial-Ethernet bridge)
       type = serial
    
    # If the connection type is serial, a port must be specified:
    #   Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat, Fedora, and SuSE:
    #     /dev/ttyUSB0 is a common USB port name
    #     /dev/ttyS0   is a common serial port name
    #   BSD:
    #     /dev/cuaU0   is a common serial port name
       port = /dev/ttyACM0
    
    # If the connection type is ethernet, an IP Address/hostname is required:
    host = 1.2.3.4
    
    ######################################################
    # The rest of this section rarely needs any attention.
    # You can safely leave it "as is."
    ######################################################
    
    # Serial baud rate (usually 19200)
    baudrate = 19200
    
    # TCP port (when using the WeatherLinkIP)
    tcp_port = 22222
    
    # TCP send delay (when using the WeatherLinkIP):
    tcp_send_delay = 0.5
    
    # The id of your ISS station (usually 1). If you use a wind meter connected
    # to a anemometer transmitter kit, use its id
    iss_id = 1
    
    # How long to wait for a response from the station before giving up (in
    # seconds; must be greater than 2)
    timeout = 4
    
    # How long to wait before trying again (in seconds)
    wait_before_retry = 1.2
    
    # How many times to try before giving up:
    max_tries = 4
    
    # Vantage model Type: 1 = Vantage Pro; 2 = Vantage Pro2
    model_type = 2
    
    # The driver to use:
    driver = weewx.drivers.vantage

##############################################################################

As you already know you have to change your device.

Code:

##############################################################################

#   This section is for configuring the archive service.

[StdArchive]
    
    # If the station hardware supports data logging then the archive interval
    # will be downloaded from the station. Otherwise, specify it (in seconds).
    archive_interval = 60
    
    # If possible, new archive records are downloaded from the station
    # hardware. If the hardware does not support this, then new archive
    # records will be generated in software.
    # Set the following to "software" to force software record generation.
    record_generation = software
    
    # Whether to include LOOP data in hi/low statistics
    loop_hilo = True
    
    # The data binding used to save archive records
    data_binding = wx_binding

##############################################################################

This should do the trick.

It is also described here: http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#StdArchive

As long as it tries to download something from the logger with the DMPAFT comand it is still configured not correctly.
I can confirm - and I have also tried myself that it works without logger and DMPAFT command.

If everything is running fine there is no need to modify some of the WeeWx internals.
