Thanks for the model number. I'll look into that but if they are on 433.92MHz it should not be a problem.
The rest of this post is pretty technical...those not interested in Linux/weewx may want to skip!
The unit decodes on-off keyed radio signal packets into bits. It determines what kind coding is used (e.g. Manchester vs Pulse Spacing) and knows how to recognize packets from the OS and Acu-Rite units listed on the data sheet.
For each packet, the output indicates the type of transmission (e.g. OS version 2.1 or Acu-rite) followed by the decoded packet bits in ASCII-hex form. The host must then make sense of those bits; converting them to temperature, RH, wind speed, etc. That's the purpose of the translator app. The USB output is documented and you could also write your own translator/decoder app if desired; I'm thinking that most folks won't want to do that but there's no good reason to hide the information required for the task.
As an aside, there's not really enough code space in the processor to decode the packets into temperature, RH, wind speed, etc. Being able to handle all the different physical layer formats (with room for new formats too) takes a lot of code and there's not really enough room left to decode data to final values. Also at some point, the processing power in a 4MHz Atmel processor becomes an issue.
To interface with other apps on windows, the translator app does one of two things as of now. VWS and Cumulus are configured as "stationless", and they poll/read data from a file which the translator updates as data is received. For WD, the translator writes data to a virtual COM port so that WD thinks it is getting data from an home-brew Arduino station over USB.
To make this work with weewx, I would need to do some more research. At first glance, it does not seem to have a "generic" or home-brew/Arduino mode.
The easiest thing would be to have the translator app feed data to weewx through a local TCP/IP socket, pipe or file. Otherwise, I'd need to have a COM port emulation that would trick weewx into thinking it was getting data from a real USB or Serial port.
The socket/pipe/file option would be pretty easy to implement if I had access to a data format document on one of the supported weather stations. Emulating the COM port on Linux might be a lot of work and might be the least preferable option.
