WeatherCat appears to be working fine on MAC OS 12.0.1 (Monterey).

Now is your computer an intel or M1 processor?

The iMac Pro is Intel-based.

Anyone confirm it is running on an M1 chip? I assume it would not be an issue but would rather confirm first.

I am having issues with slowing down, the Time Machine is forever re indexing  and my backblaze backup is rejecting files for who knows,  I had to run something to copy things and send to them.   I am waiting iDrive to work and if it works, not worrying.   Those are set for late tonight when I am asleep or watching cowboy movies older than me.    Safari goes through stages of being slower than syrup at the North pole .   So who knows.  Not my router, it is 50 down and 5 up.  I am connected via ethernet to the modem , wife has wifi and slower.  so we see

There is a new SiLabs CP210xVCPDriver that includes updates for Monterey. https://www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers

I've updated my 2016 MacBook Pro to Monterey (the last update it will take), but not my 2017 iMac, which is where WeatherCat lives. I did update the driver this morning, and all is well.

I have been running WeatherCat on a 2014 Mac mini running High Sierra. I did update the SiLabs driver and all was well. I decided to try upgrading to Monterey 12.0.1 & WeatherCat would not download the historical data from my Davis Vantage Vue. So I am working on going back to High Sierra (I have a clone) & will then upgrade to Big Sur & stay there for now.

Running on Big Sur here and the Cat is just plugging away. It's a little too early for me to try Monterey.

I upgraded to Monterey 2 days ago, and everything seems to be working and stable. My mac is using the Quad-Core intel Core i3. My question is will W-Cat be ready for the upgrade, what cool new features will it include, and when can we expect it. I hate to not do the upgrades for privacy and internet security concerns...

I upgraded to Monterey again & made sure I updated the SiLabs driver again & all seems well.

Hello, I updated to Monterey and no particular problem.

Regarding the high consumption of the gauges, I solved the problem by running WC Client which consumes much less CPU than the WC gauges.

Regards. Horst.

Hello,

I joined the forum to see if I could find anyone who's had luck going from pre-Big Sur to Monterey and was able to get their box to accept the new Silicon Labs CP210xVCP Driver?

I recently made the leap, from a long functioning Big Sur set up to Monterey which has failed. I cannot seem to get macOS to allow the driver to run. I have run the SiLabs installer a dozen or so times, each time manually approving in System Prefs > Security. Run their uninstaller, and even when I cannot find the driver on my system, System Report still lists two SiLabs entries in its "disabled software" list. I have booted into System Recovery and manually added the developer's code number to the accept list.

Before I wipe my Mac mini and start from scratch, does anyone have a magic incantation that's worked for them? Maybe something that worked for you to get the driver working on Catalina, which I skipped?

I posted a stand alone message for this topic, https://athena.trixology.com/index.php?topic=3380.0 and a response there suggested I asking on this thread.

Thanks.
