hi alex,

the interceptor driver has had basic support for the gw1000u (that is the 
bridge device for the C84612 station) since early this year.

https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-interceptor

sorry about the paucity of documentation, but please ask - that will help 
me prioritize what to write.

currently it receives data from the station every 12-15 minutes or so.

we're trying to get the station and gateway to send data at a faster 
interval.  apparently there used to be an interface a lacrosse alerts to 
make this change, but now that option is gone.

we have figured out that there are at least two kinds of data packets 
coming from the station - current weather conditions, and historical data.  
that makes sense, since the station is basically the same as the ws28xx.  
current conditions have been decoded, but historical data has not yet (if 
someone wants to compare data from a gw1000u with data from a ws28xx, it 
should be a pretty easy deciphering exercise).

would you be able to do some network sniffing?  we could use a few more 
captures of the registration process (when you first connect the station to 
the network), as well as the initialization process (when you first power 
on a registered gw1000u).

fwiw, the lacrosse hardware is at least an order of magnitude more 
complicated than any other hardware in its class.  it has been fascinating 
to see the differences in engineering skill, design, and philosophy across 
hardware vendors, system integrators, and service providers.
