I am doing a new setup on a Pi400 for speed and to clean out some things on a previous Pi4 that I've had running for about 1/3 of a year.   I have downloaded the driver from github, and searched here for comments on the driver which seems to have had some problems pre version 0.4

Despite having downloaded the github's most recent version, and following the instructions in the readme file, I run into a file not found error when I get to the part of doing"
 sudo wee_extension --install weewx-ip100.zip

I see that the file actually downloaded from github is called weewx-ip100-master.zip but even changing to this name in the command, I still get a file not found error.

Is there a posting of a correctly named install file, and a readme of the correct instructions to get the driver installed?

I seem to have run into a wall, and perhaps there is an obvious error I'm not seeing for having looked to long at the sequence tonight.

Thank you for any tips:  Dale

Oh, PS.  Is it possible to have two WeeWx installations (on different Rasp machines) BOTH looking at the ip address of the unit and have correct data flowing to both Pis?  I'd like to not take down the functioning Rasp Pi until the new install is up, running and tweaked.

How did you download it ?  With a browser ?

It's possible it's in your Downloads directory.  Just give the absolute pathname to the file (something like /home/pi/Downloads/something.zip perhaps, whatever it is on your system).

Give it a try and follow-up here for the next person who asks the same question.....but if that driver just queries a network device, sure it should probably work.

Would you please provide the URL of the github repository from which you downloaded the driver?  Also, what version of WeeWX are you running?
