As suggested I did a separate install using pip. It was very quick. "weectl device --clear-memory" fixed my davis problem.
I decided to run the new 5.0. I copied over the conf file. I didn't need to copy the db file. Weewxd works great. But now I want to run it as a daemon. The pip install instructions said to use "sh ~/weewx-data/scripts/setup-daemon.sh". I couldn't run this because weewx-data is in the .env folder, not in root. I went to the weewx-data in .env and ran /setup-daemon.sh. I had to change the location inside that script to also use weewx-data in .env. The daemon install gave no errors but when I run "systemctl start weewx" I get this error ... /etc/systemd/system/weewx.service:12: Executable "WEEWX_PYTHON" not found in path "/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" weewx.service: Unit configuration has fatal error, unit will not be started. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Meanwhile I'll run in not as a daemon but obviously I've got to fix this.
