I am on the latest Weewx and Belchertown-Version.

If I configure
pi_theme = "auto"

then the webpage on the PI is not changing between light/dark-mode.

In the past it changed accordingly to the time when I restarted the PI, but only when I restart. Now it doesnt change at all and it stays with the "light" theme.

try debug mode - what does it say for the expected theme in the debug console? it could be set to light manually

ebnerjoh commented

belchertown_debug = 1 ?

Do I see the output then in weewx.log or somewhere else?

If I set it to "light" or "dark" then its working. Only the automated switch is not working.

you would see it in the chrome developer tools console. this may be hard to see on the pi.

on the pi, add this to the end of the url: ?theme=auto

So if your pi is example: 192.168.0.100/pi, you would use 192.168.0.100/pi?theme=auto

This will reset any overrides that may be present. then see if it works this way

If I use ?theme=auto either on the normal skin or the PI-Option, then it takes the theme from the time the pages was accesssed.

Eg. If I start the PI in the night, it starts with Dark-Theme. But then it stays there. If I restart the PI during noon, its starting in Light-Theme, but again it stays there.

yes, theme auto resets the theme back to automatic. so if sun is up, it's light theme. if sun is down it's dark theme.

Hi, and this is not working for me.

I start the PI with "auto" in the night and it starts with the dark theme. But it stays there forever.
