Delete what you downloaded and altered and do it the weewx way. Use the
extension installer.
I'd also suggest that since you're rebuilding a clean installation, you
should probably use the opportunity to get current and install weewx 5.2 if
possible. Might as well start with a current clean slate....
For weewx v5:
weectl extension install
https://github.com/captain-coredump/weatherflow-udp/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
docs are in https://www.weewx.com/docs/5.2/utilities/weectl-extension/
For weewx v4:
wee_extension install
https://github.com/captain-coredump/weatherflow-udp/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
docs are
in https://www.weewx.com/docs/4.10/utilities.htm#wee_extension_utility
A couple permissions-deleted details:
- weewx v4 runs as user 'root' so you will likely need to preface your
wee_extension command with 'sudo'
- weewx v5 runs as user 'weewx' so you will likely need to add yourself
to group 'weewx' to run weectl extension.
- sudo usermod -aG weewx pi
- then log out and back into the pi and run 'groups' to verify your
account is in group weewx
- and then you can run weectl extension without needing to use sudo
If you run into adventures, feel free to email me via the 'reply to author'
pick in the google groups three-dots pick top-right.
