Thanks, Tom, I’m learning my way into weewx 5.0. As I understand, weewx updates, python updates, and additions such as extensions need to be done while logged into venv. Everything else indtalled should be from the normal login. Weewx is a great system and I appreciate all the work you and many others have put in. Cheers, Bob
