Hi Roy, No I have not seen or heard of the device but it sounds like it would be an interesting project to develop a driver. How are your python skills as yes, you will need to write a custom driver. The driver itself would not need to be that complex; it would just need to receive serial data from the logger, parse/convert the data, construct a WeeWX loop packet and finally emit the loop packet. All of these things have already been done in one WeeWX driver or another.
Where things will get interesting is developing a flexible config section for the driver so the user can specify what sensors are present, how to derive an observation from a sensor and how to assign sensors to WeeWX fields. You will find the 'Porting to new hardware' section (http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#porting) of the Customization Guide (http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm) helpful. You might also want to look at some of the existing drivers (https://github.com/weewx/weewx/tree/master/bin/weewx/drivers) included with weeWX. The Vantage driver certainly does some serial comms as do a number of others. The fileparse driver (https://github.com/weewx/weewx/tree/master/examples/fileparse) reads simple formatted data from a file. And I didn't even mention any reading to improve/develop your python skills. Probably a bit of reading to do...
