Hi Bob, thank you very much for the advice. The stations do look very similar. My base station does also in fact have a USB-port. But when I checked the manual, I found this: "Important:The USB port (7) on the base station is used exclusively for firmware updates." So, I figure that the Raspberry-Pi-solution is most probably not going to work in this case, unless there are hidden features on this device. I do in fact remember an agonizingly long downtime of WU-servers a couple of years ago (was it in 2017?) which in fact led to me discovering and installing weewx alltogether. But in the meantime, I have not experience such problems with WU anymore. Lets hope that they're grown out of their infancy and these problems are now ghosts from the past...
