I got it to work!
For anyone else searching for an answer and reading this, here's what I did:
Install the Interceptor plugin (as mentioned earlier).
Connected the Acurite Access via a bridged connection on the Raspberry Pi.
Specified the "Observer" hardware.
In weewx.conf:
Scroll down to the "" section and make sure it looks like this:
[Interceptor]
# This section is for the network traffic interceptor driver.
# The driver to use:
driver = user.interceptor
device_type = observer
mode = sniff
iface = eth0
port = 80
pcap_filter = src net 192.168.6.0/24 && dst port 80
# NOTE: You'll need to change the above pcap_filter IP address range to
match that of the one you assigned to the ethernet port on your own
Raspberry Pi.
# Specify the hardware device to capture. Options include:
# acurite-bridge - acurite internet bridge
# observer - fine offset WH2600/HP1000/HP1003, aka 'observer'
# lw30x - oregon scientific LW301/LW302
# lacrosse-bridge - lacrosse GW1000U/C84612 internet bridge
[[sensor_map]]
pressure = barometer
barometer = barometer
altimeter = barometer
outHumidity = humidity_out
outTemp = temperature_out
windSpeed = wind_speed
windGust = wind_gust
windDir = wind_dir
dewpoint = dewpoint
rain = rain_total
