I do not understand the problem:
it is simply read a sentence ($LK8EX1) from serial port
It is obviously necessary to know the format of data

$LK8EX1,99520,151,0,24,5.12,*3F
$LK8EX1,99519,151,1,24,5.10,*36
$LK8EX1,99519,151,1,24,5.10,*36

mistake?

No, not wrong.

It is advertised as "GT Barometric Altimeter with integrated
Variometer, LK8000 compatible" (in large red letters on the website).

The manual does not mention any other software, does not even mention
that any other software is even possible or supported.

How can the vendor be any more explicit that he designed this product
only for LK8000?

But will the vendor support customers running XCSoar?  That's why I
suggested to ask the vendor before buying.
