A somewhat more complicated setup that I use... Primary station = weewx using Vantage driver on a pi for the VP2 station Secondary items = weewx using gw1000 driver in docker on a separate system. That system also runs a docker MQTT broker.
The ecowitt setup publishes to MQTT. The VP2 (primary) setup subscribes to those MQTT topics. That gets the ecowitt stuff into the primary (VP2) weewx db very reliably. Note, however, that I'm mapping all the Ecowitt stuff to extraTemp1 and the like in the primary weewx. Presumably you could map your ecowitt to unused extraSomethingNNN fields in the primary weewx setup similarly. The main reason I do it this way is that the primary VP2 weewx 'also' publishes to MQTT, so it makes it easy for me to do an integrated Home Assistant dashboard containing data from all the various sensors.
