Not sure what in wee_device told you it did not support the Ultimeter 800 but it is listed in the Hardware Guide <http://www.weewx.com/docs/hardware.htm#driver_status> as supported by the ultimeter driver. Looking at the ultimeter driver code it appears that it supports the Ultimeter 800. The driver comments say the console communicates at 2400 baud 8N1 no flow control, so that is probably why you are not invited to set some parameters.
Don’t worry about the lack of default sections in the distributed weewx.conf, they are added as required during install or when using wee_config to configure a new driver. If you installed WeeWX and did not specify the Ultimeter 800 during setup you will likely need to run wee_config <http://weewx.com/docs/utilities.htm#wee_config_utility> to reconfigure WeeWX to use the ultimeter driver with your station. wee_device lets you configure/control/interact with your station once WeeWX is configured to use it.
