you were given incorrect information.

the 88 and 89 may be able to talk to the same sensors, but their computer 
interfaces are completely different and incompatible.

weewx works with the wmr88, but it does not work with the wmr89.

as of january 2018, no one has been able to reverse engineer the serial 
communications on the wmr89 (or, if they have, they have not published it).

you could purchase a 20$US sdr-usb dongle then use the weewx-sdr driver to 
capture the transmissions from the sensors.

or you could build an arduino that does the same thing as the sdr-usb 
dongle.

then you could add a pressure sensor to the rpi so that you get pressure 
(and inside temperature and humidity if the pressure sensor includes t/h as 
well)

as daunting as these might sound, none is terribly difficult - many other 
people have done it.  there are recipes available to make it happen, and 
plenty of people on this forum who are willing to help.
