Hello. Thank you "ACommonMan" for working on this. I confirm that this manual is still functional. I just connected my old Oregon wmr89 weather station.
OS: Running a Raspberry Pi Zero W. WeeWX 4.4.0. installation from a DEB package. *Differences from the above installation of the WMR89 driver .....* *https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-wmr89 This driver didn't work for me!* I used this: https://github.com/tkeffer/weewx-wmr89 *!!no need to modify this driver!!* This is actually a driver from the user "fcauwe" modified for the installation of OS from a DEB package. *Step 1 is different:* *Use Download the .zip file from ... https: //github.com/tkeffer/weewx-wmr89* Then follow the step by step instructions "ACommonMan" I hope I can help other WMR89 users.
