No, this is not correct.
The Simulator is only for Simulation as the name suggests - to show that
weewx is - in principle - properly configured
You have to put *station_type = Interceptor *in the [Station] stanza in
weewx.conf
and install the interceptor driver, which creates an [Interceptor]
stanza in weewx.conf
the Interceptor stanza should look like:
[Interceptor]
driver = user.interceptor
device_type = ecowitt-client
port = 8090
iface = eth0 #or wlan0 depending on the network interface
you/your server use/s
You will need to program the customized section of your weather service
section of your control either inside the console or via the WS View
(Plus) app
which has to match the Interceptor settings in weewx.conf
e.g.
protocol Ecowitt enabled
server - IP address of your weewx server
path - "/" without ""
port 8090
interval 16 seconds
Depending on your Ecowitt station, not all sensors might be shown as the
Interceptor driver on GitHub only deals with the basic sensors rain,
wind, solar, rain, temperature/humidity and air pressure.
You might need an extended version if you have more and different
sensors, or - if you have a console/gateway with the GW1000/Ecowitt
Gateway interface/API - use the weewx Ecowitt Gateway driver aka GW1000
API driver

Hi,
When I start Weewx, I encounter this error:
```
File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/wxservices.py", line 105, in __init__
initialize=True)
File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/manager.py", line 597, in get_manager
self.manager_cache[data_binding] = open_manager(manager_dict,
initialize)
File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/manager.py", line 747, in open_manager
manager_dict['schema'])
File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/manager.py", line 151, in open_with_create
connection = weedb.connect(database_dict)
File "/usr/share/weewx/weedb/__init__.py", line 86, in connect
__import__(db_dict['driver'])
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ecowitt'
```
I am not sure whether this means that*my configuration file is wrong*,
*or if I am starting the service in an incorrect way*.
My configuration is quite special : I have *two weather stations*
currently (an old one which I will remove in a couple of weeks, and a
new one). The new one is an *Ecowitt* station, and I want to use the
Weewx Interceptor for that.
As I have 2 weather stations, I need to start *2 weewx daemons*. I
tried https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/weewx-multi which did not
exactly work in my case. So, basically, I copied the /etc/init.d/weewx
script, modified it to read another config (/etc/weewx/ecowitt.conf) +
use another pid file.
As for *my ecowitt.conf*, I am not totally sure it is correct either.
At the end I have specified this, I think this is okay (+I'll
configure the customized ecowitt to use port 8090)?
[Interceptor]
driver = user.interceptor
device_type = ecowitt-client
port = 8090
I am unsure of the beginning of the configuration: I have said to*use
"simulator"*. Is that the correct way to do it?
[station]
...
station_type = Simulator
[Simulator]
loop_interval = 2.5
mode = simulator
driver = weewx.drivers.simulator
Thanks for your help.
PS. This is Weewx 4.3.0 on a RPi4. I have installed the weewx-interceptor.
