Alrighty! I figured out how to create config stanzas and file stanzas BUT I have a few questions. Note that I tried reading through the source for wee_extension to see if I could sort this out myself but I'm a bit baffled still.
- Is there a way to replace a config value via the stanza without writing custom code? I.e. I see some fairly complex custom code to break out and do custom things in some of the more complicated drivers/skins but I'm trying to avoid that if I can. I specifically want to replace the station_type stanza to reflect the driver I just installed. - Is there a way to "place" the config_dict values. By default they are going to the end of the file which is OK but also forces the user to dig to enter some of the values like the API token and device ID. Alternately I suppose these could be prompted for if I write some custom code?
