V5 weectl device - bug

[Graham Eddy]

i have several stations, none of them using the default name. weectl device seems to ignore —config directive:

(venv) weewx@wx:~/ecowitt$ weectl device --help

Unable to find file 'weewx.conf'. Tried directories ['/home/weewx/weewx-data', '/etc/weewx', '/home/weewx']

(venv) weewx@wx:~/ecowitt$ weectl device --config=/home/weewx/ecowitt/weewx.conf --help

Unable to find file 'weewx.conf'. Tried directories ['/home/weewx/weewx-data', '/etc/weewx', '/home/weewx']

Right you are.

This is because weectl device is actually implemented as a wrapper around the old wee_device.

Try

weectl device /home/weewx/ecowitt/weewx.conf --help

works for vantage, error for ecowitt. maybe latter is expected (after 2am here and my concentration is wavering..)
