Does not work with current version of Weewx

Hi, would love to try your driver, but it does not work with current version of Weewx. I cannot follow your installation as those commands have been eliminated and replaced with weectl. In using weectl, i get the following error when trying to install:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/weewx/weectl.py", line 75, in <module> main() File "/usr/share/weewx/weectl.py", line 67, in main namespace.func(namespace) File "/usr/share/weewx/weectllib/__init__.py", line 90, in dispatch namespace.action_func(config_dict, namespace) File "/usr/share/weewx/weectllib/extension_cmd.py", line 116, in install_extension ext.install_extension(namespace.source, no_confirm=namespace.yes) File "/usr/share/weewx/weecfg/extension.py", line 124, in install_extension raise IOError(f"Unknown extension type found at '{extension_path}'") OSError: Unknown extension type found at 'https://github.com/AussieSusan/HP1000/blob/master/HP1000/bin/user/HP1000.py'

It looks like the method for installation of extensions (such as drivers) has changed; see https://weewx.com/docs/5.1/custom/extensions/ for example.

Manual install would be:

• Download the HP1000.py file into the weewx bin/usr/ directory
• Make changes to Daemon startup file as described in the HP1000 readme
• Edit the weewx.conf file:
  • Add the loop_on_init value as described in the readme
  • Add a station section, e.g. [HP1000]; within that section add:
    • driver = user.HP1000 # this should align with the path and name for the HP1000.py file
    • ip_address_mask = "xxx" # replace with actual IP mask if needed; as described in readme
  • Within the [Station] section, create entry (or update if already existing):
    • station_type = HP1000 # this must match the station section created above
  • Save changes
• Run the "Start weeWx" commands as described in the readme

If I can figure out what format of install.py the weectl extension install requires (other than expecting a zip), I may do a PR.
