Thank you very much for taking the time to reply, and also for the work you did in adapting the driver to work with later versions of weewx. I was able to make your fork work with version 5.1 of weewx without much difficulty. I still have a lot to learn and will be looking to modify some things, but the ball is my court for those things. Thanks again, and also to Glenn for the initial link.

That driver was written for python2.x and that's long gone now. It was never upgraded but there is a fork of it that was rejigged to use Python3.x and tweaked for the weewx 4.x versions.It relies on the module python3-six (that's available in Debian 12)Try that one, It may work as is with weewx 5.1, probably should work for weewx 4.x.Forget about 3.6, you'll get lost if you go down that path.On Mon, 10 Feb 2025 at 11:41, kenwoodts850 via weewx-user <weewx-user@googlegroups.com> wrote:I originally posted this in the Reddit/weewx area where it was suggested that here would be a better place to post.

Thanks.I am trying to make weewx work with a Rainwise IP-100. I have tried several different ways using the weewx-ip100 driver created by Matthew Wall on GitHub. I first tried following the readme file that was part of the IP100 driver package, but it didn’t take me long to discover that the commands used there were based on a much older version of weewx than the version 5.1 I installed.
I next tried the instructions provided in the weewx 5.1 documentation rather than those that accompanied the driver package. I first installed weewx 5.1 and assumed that it did install correctly as I was able to bring up a web page based on the simulator using a PC. I next installed the IP100 driver using:
weectl extension install weewx-ip100-master.zip
and confirmed it was installed using the command:
weectl extension list
which resulted in:
ip100 0.4 Capture weather data from Rainwise IP-100
I then tried to link them using the command:
weectl station reconfigure --no-prompt --driver=user.ip100
and it resulted in the following:

Did you mean print(...)The only line that I thought I could address was the last line which seemed to be the reason for the early exit. Based on that, I edited the "/etc/weewx/bin/user/ip100.py” file to add the parentheses on line 84. I then ran it again only to find a similar error further down. I didn’t keep count, but I suspect there were about a dozen such errors in all. As I reached the end of the file, I was hopeful for success, but after the last error about parentheses was fixed, I had the following last lines
File "/etc/weewx/bin/user/ip100.py", line 9, in <module> Import urllib2ModulesNotFoundError: No module named ‘urllib2’I figured I reached a dead end at that point since my programming skills are limited to a working occasionally with bash scripts.
I next tried version python-weewx_4.0.0-1_all.deb, the latest standard release, and version weewx_3.6.0-1_all.deb, the release from about the same time the driver was released, and they both resulted in failure with messages like those below from the oldest version.

I made my decision on the IP-100 based on the fact there was a IP-100 driver available for weewx, so I am hoping there is something I am doing wrong, or at least someone will have a suggestion on how to modify what I am doing to make the IP-100 work with one of the versions, hopefully 5.1. Otherwise I am now going to have two devices that won’t work with weewx.
