Hello ! And thx for answer! In the meantime, I changed a bit my mind (as I have discovered many new things).
I found the ESP8266 which is a kind of cheap arduino with wifi connexion. So it will provide quite reliable wifi connexion. Then using MQTT, it can allow a nice communication with weewx (with wxmesh). and good luck with windsensor, it's the most difficult one (when placed on the roof).
