Over the weekend we had a very heavy thunderstorm, SDL probably had as well. My last reading in Blynk was lightning was 14 km away and we had had 7.34 mm. This all from Saturday night into Sunday.
Today I went to the SkyWeather station in the yard and unplugged, then plugged back in. I would usually note a couple of small clicks, but today, nothing. Opening up the box, I note there are no lights on the RPi. So, I think the RPi is pooched.
Not sure if this from water log to somewhere in the wiring, system etc.
I'll have to pull it a part and test.

Removed the RPi from the box and it powers up just fine. I was able to connect with VNC just fine and performed Pi updates.
Is it possible the daughter board (PiGrover) on the Pi is no good and how can I test it.?

Unplug everything from the Pi2Grover board. Try it. Plug one thing at a time back in until you find the blown part.

It appeared to be the GFCI outlet that is not working from what I can tell. I have booted it up and can communicate with it thru VNC, but when I run the commands I get the following error
Traceback (most recent call last): File "SkyWeather.py", line 516, in <module> bme680 = BME680.BME680(BME680.I2C_ADDR_SECONDARY) File "./BME680/bme680.py", line 443, in __init__ raise RuntimeError('BME680 Not Found. Invalid CHIP ID: 0x{0:02x}'.format(self.chip_id)) RuntimeError: BME680 Not Found. Invalid CHIP ID: 0x7f I've poked around the forum and haven't found anything yet, but will continue to look.

Have it working. The PiGrover board was one set of GPIO's out.
Things work when they are installed correctly..
