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.

Thanks for your help, when I install I get this message:

[Ian Millard]

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

[Claudio]

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

You have an extra / before https in your weecfg command

weecfg extension install https://some-url-here
not

weecfg extension install /https://some-url-here

Hi Guys.

I am trying to get running this driver which I downloaded from Ian's fork. So far I have managed to get the driver working and it successfully reads the data from the GW3000 after pointing it to the correct IP Address. However it fails when trying to start weewx. The most immediate output is from "weewxd" command:

Using configuration file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'issu'

I attach the full log with for extra information.

This is a package installation of weewx in a debian system. Python version is 3.11.2.

In case it matters, the sd card in the GW3000 has 3 or 4 months worth of records. The archive interval is 300s in both the GW3000 and weewx.conf.

See if someone can make anything out of the log, please.

Thanks

Might you possibly have extra files it doesn't expect on your SD card ?

Seems like it wants to see filenames that are numbers only.

Perhaps try to temporarily log the filenames it found - something like 'log.info(files)' right above 'for file in files:' line that should be right above the line that failed with the ValueError. (untested - save the original in cast you mess up the edit)

[Francisco Alonso]

That is correct Vince. I had a bunch of other text files not related to data on the gateway. It's up and running now.

Thanks a lot.
