weectl extension
Use the weectl subcommand extension to manage WeeWX extensions.
Specify --help to see the actions and options:
weectl extension --help
List installed extensions
weectl extension list
[--config=FILENAME] [--dry-run]
This action will list all the extensions that you have installed.
Install an extension
weectl extension install (FILE|DIR|URL)
This action will install an extension from a zip file, tar file, directory, or URL.
For example, this would install the windy extension from the latest zip file
located at github.com:
weectl extension install https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-windy/archive/master.zip
This would install the windy extension from a compressed tar archive in the
current directory:
weectl extension install windy-0.1.tgz
This would install the windy extension from a zip file in the Downloads
directory:
weectl extension install ~/Downloads/windy-0.1.zip
Uninstall an extension
weectl extension uninstall NAME
This action uninstalls an extension. Use the list action to see what to use
for NAME.
For example, this would uninstall the extension called windy:
weectl extension uninstall windy
