Susan, Just had a quick look at the origin files (both sites) and the error message is because there is no install.py file within the tree. ie:- It doesn't install using the weectl stanza, it's not structured that way.
It needs to be installed manually. The skin directory is "Responsive". Place that with in the weewx skin directory and manually edit weewx.conf to point to it etc. Cheers Glenn (VK3GLN) Various WeeWx addons at https://github.com/glennmckechnie On Wed, 11 Feb 2026 at 10:09, Greg Reive <[email protected]> wrote: > I think if you download the zip file and install the extension it might > work?
