The six year old one is mine (at https://github.com/chaunceygardiner/weewx-ip100).
I’ve long since moved on to a Vantage Pro, but this IP100 driver will work on WeeWX 5.2. Let me know if you need any help. Driving two weewx instances would be an interesting experiment. You’ll have to try it. You could also get another IP100 or a CC3000. That would definitely work. I have some lying around.
