Thanks. Upgrade to 4.5.1 went fine, but this command throws an error which puzzles me: /home/weewx $ sudo bin/wee_database --add-column=energy_total --type=REAL --config=archive/envoy.sdb Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/wee_database", line 1138, in main() File

Vince is right that you need V4.5. But, your command is also wrong. Review the docs for wee_database . The --config option selects a *configuration file*, such as weewx.conf, not a database. The --binding option selects the

Instructions are fine. All users need to understand how $PATH works and when you need to use absolute paths to commands and when you don't. In your case, you have a setup.py installation and /home/weewx/bin is not in your $PATH, so you need to use an absolute path for all commands so the

I am asking just that but I can’t see how —binding might work When I installed the Envoy drive, it still uses wx_binding when in creates envoy.sdb So I tried: In /home/weewx: sudo bin/wee_database --add-column=energy_total --config=archive/envoy.sdb And it throws an error: wee_database:

Hello Thank you once again for your help. The driver works perfectly. I noticed a small blemish. In the log it is displayed as HP100 and not as HP1000. I fixed that in the driver. I have now solved the problem. My cable router had an update and probably deleted the setting from the IP. thus

I loaded weewx into a Ubuntu 20 vitrual machine I created just to run weewx. I created a Linux user called weewx, so the /home/weewx directory exists. I installed the rtl-sdr and rtl-433 using apt-get (DEB packages). For weewx, I followed the instructions for the "Installation using setup.py"
