It's close, I actually packaged up a beta last week but then found another issue. The lack of API documentation and dealing with the large number of unit combinations have been challenging (eg the CSV files used during backfill may all have different units and some of those units don't exist in WeeWX). I'm not putting a timeframe on it as I have done so before and then had to eat my words. But it's close.
Backfill is a function of a WeeWX driver, so whilst the Ecowitt local HTTP driver can function as a driver and a service, backfill will only be supported when operated as a driver.
