As correctly stated in https://groups.google.com/g/weewx-user/c/50VCTyL-Tpw/m/DgScCzIDAQAJ, the home directory for weewx is /var/lib/weewx and not /home/weewx, so .ssh need to go into /var/lib/weewx/.ssh

I will try your suggestion when I get back home!

In v5 it is the 'weewx' user (upgrade guide link) <https://www.weewx.com/docs/5.0/upgrade/#weewx-runs-as-non-root-user>. So it is very likely the host key of the remote computer is not known in the /home/weewx/.ssh/known_hosts file. Simplest way around this would be do append whatever is in your legacy /root/.ssh/known_hosts file to your /home/weewx/.ssh/known_hosts file.
