When giving up on Netatmo, I got the advice to go for EcoWitt WittBoy WS90 with a GW300 gateway unit attached. So I did, and with help from Vince I succeded installing the GW1000 driver and weewx is up and running. I think it was a good advice, thank you michael
But my weather page from weewx shows the station as "unknown model" and there is some reminiscence of the co2 meassurement from netatmo, that I don't have (yet) from EcoWitt. But if I can get it to work with the apparently best driver, I would expand with the lighting module and the Air Quality module later on.
But I am sure that at least the "Unknown Model" message is due to using the driver meant for GW1000, and not the EcoWitt-http driver that supposedly should cover all the current Weather Stations from EcoWitt.
I have tried Millardiang's Github repo, but the ecowitt-http driver is not to be found, I only see a very short readme (and the GW1000 driver, which believe is the one in use right now. I also tried Werner Krenn's Github repo, but it didn't seem to want to install.
But I found a thread that suggests that Werners version is very popular.
What would be your advice on this?
Cheers
Bent

Oh I thought I did.
But your help is much appreciated, and started me to look in the right directions.
I have now set up the rain readouts and the soil actually worked, with another language (which was norwegian as that was my template for my own language, Danish, so I rectified that in my skin).
Only things missing now is the battery indication and a co2 field that is no longer necessary. But that is less important.
Thank you for your help.

You never said what kind of station you have so I can't speculate what your station is emitting, but you need to define field_map_extensions to map what the gateway measures into weewx database elements.
I managed today to make my new weather station working with weewx, coming from netatmo to ecowitt. It seems much more capable, so I'm happy.
Only I need a little push with, this: How do I make it show the rain gauge. It shows zero though it has been pouring down all day (46mm).
I also would like to add the meassures from the soil moisture sensor WH51. How do I get around that?
