Ecowitt Gw3000 help

[Claudio]

Hello everyone, I'm waiting for an Ecowitt GW3001 (gw3000+WS90) station and I was preparing my rp4 but I can't figure out which driver to install and how. This refers to a driver by gjr89 "https://github.com/Millardiang/weewx-ecowitt_local_http/tree/development" and tells me it can't find it. While with this "weectl extension install https://github.com/WernerKr/Ecowitt-or-DAVIS-stations-and-Season-skin/blob/main/ecowitt_http/weewx-ecowitt_http.zip" I get this error:

I've read all the messages in the group but I can't get out. Can you help me figure out where to find the right driver and how to install it?
Thanks everyone.

[Ian Millard]

Have you tried my repository? It works fine for me.

Ciao Ian and thank you,  do I just need to copy the files into the directories?
