You can find it here: https://github.com/fcauwe/weewx/blob/master/bin/weewx/drivers/wmr89.py You have tell the linux kernel to use the cp210X serial driver for this device. sudo sh -c 'echo 0fde ca0a > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/cp210x/new_id' https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=27581.25 François On Thursday, January 4, 2018 at 8:05:57 AM UTC+1, Kevin Hedgepeth wrote: > > Ok then.
