the "no attribute 'api_key' " suggests that you have an api_key entry in
your weewx.conf but no key entered
I suggest you get yourself an API and an APP key in your ecowitt.net
account and enter it into the [EcowittHttp] stanza on your weewx.conf
including the MAC address of the console
or
in the [EcowittHttp] stanza in weewx.conf comment the line with
"api_key" out by placing a # in front
[EcowittHttp]
......
# provide Ecowitt API and APP key to have permission for the ecowitt.net
backfill download # api_key = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # app_key =
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # MAC address to identify the console # mac =
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
......

And run 'weectl station reconfigure' and look carefully at the
selections there. You don't see one called user.ecowitt_local_http in
the list.

Module not found tends to be a typo. What does ‘weectl extension

I'm trying to install the cowitt Local HTTP API Driver from

I want the Local HTTP API Driver, not the old cloud / push driver.
% weectl extension install
https://github.com/weewx-contrib/weewx-ecowitt_local_http/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
--config ~/Documents/WeeWX/weewx-data/weewx.conf
Reconfiguring this way doesn't work:
weectl station reconfigure --driver=user.ecowitt_local_http
--config ~/Documents/WeeWX/weewx-data/weewx.conf
I get:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'user.ecowitt_local_http'
If I reconfigure this way:
% weectl station reconfigure --driver=user.ecowitt_http
--config ~/Documents/WeeWX/weewx-data/weewx.conf
it works but when I run I get this error:
% weewxd --config ~/Documents/WeeWX/weewx-data/weewx.conf
AttributeError: 'EcowittHttpDriver' object has no attribute
'api_key'
which means I'm using the old cloud/push driver.
How can I reconfigure it to use the new Local HTTP API driver?
