I haven't tried weewx 5. I will spin up a test system...

Update: I've changed one line in wxMesh.py which seemed to be stopping my driver from starting. It's working OK now in my test system. Also updated the repository here.

diff weather/weewx/wxMesh.py_4 weather/weewx/wxMesh.py 
46c46
< DRIVER_VERSION = "0.2"
---
> DRIVER_VERSION = "0.3"
60c60
<     return wxMesh(**config_dict['wxMesh'])
---
>     return wxMesh(**config_dict[DRIVER_NAME])
87c87
<       self.client = mqtt.Client(client_id=self.client_id, protocol=mqtt.MQTTv31)
---
>       self.client = mqtt.Client(mqtt.CallbackAPIVersion.VERSION1, client_id=self.client_id, protocol=mqtt.MQTTv31)

I set up the test system for this with the "pip" install method. Also had to add to install paho-mqtt in the venv:

python3 -m pip install  paho-mqtt

Please close the issue if it works for you.

Hello morrowwm, it doesn't work for me:
Downloaded it with
wget -O weewxMQTT.zip https://github.com/morrowwm/weewxMQTT/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

try to install with:
sudo weectl extension install weewxMQTT.zip
gaves me the same error:

There was an obvious error in the install script. @jens-b, could you try again?

Argh, sorry. I made a mistake with the fix. Could you please try again? Thank you for testing this.
