Weewx 5.x - Interceptor Driver

[buck...@googlemail.com]

So far I have been using weewx 4.x.
Since I have new hardware, I want to completely redo everything.
The Interceptor driver cannot be installed as described.
There were certainly many necessary and unnecessary changes, also for
the Interceptor driver, is this now included?

I am using a Froggit WH4000SE

Thx in advance

-------------------

Installation 0) install weewx, select 'Simulator' driver http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#installing 1) download the interceptor driver wget -O weewx-interceptor.zip https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-interceptor/archive/master.zip 2) install the driver sudo wee_extension --install weewx-interceptor.zip 3) configure the driver sudo wee_config --reconfigure --driver=user.interceptor --no-prompt 4) start weewx sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start

I suggest you read the weewx 5.0 documentation and see what's new in 5.0 and how things are done differently.
E.g. extensions are now installed with the weectl tool

see https://weewx.com/docs/5.1/utilities/weectl-extension/

if you install the Interceptor driver zip file with weectl, all should work.

As the Froggit WH4000SE is a Ecowitt WS2320 station with just the classic basic weather sensors, the existing Interceptor driver should work.
Under weewx 5.0 as under 3.x and 4.x

so, i tried replaced

sudo wee_extension --install weewx-interceptor.zip

with

sudo weectl extension install weewx-interceptor.zip

and

sudo wee_config --reconfigure --driver=user.interceptor --no-prompt

with

sudo weectl station reconfigure --driver=user.interceptor --no-prompt

now:
