Until you get your WS View app (ie, your gateway) seeing the sensors, weewx isn't going to be able to display anything from those sensors. Once you 'do' get them working, weewx will just pick them up right away. Cool feature of the driver.
You might want to consult the Ecowitt forums as well as wxforum.net for more help. Maybe somebody there has seen your problem.
