Many thanks, Rainer. I think I understand. I was confused because the display/console says it is 'Model HP2553AE' running Firmware: Pro_v1.7.6 and I thought this supported the new API/driver. I didn't realise that it is only the Ecowitt 'displayless consoles/gateways' that support the newer API/driver.
Thank you for your advice. I followed your suggestion and with Matthew Wall's intercept driver (https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-interceptor ) I have got the Ecowite HP2553 to communicate with WeeWx.
