The HP25x0 consoles do not have an API and cannot be queried via the
GW1000 API/Ecowitt Gateway driver.
You either use a GW1x00/GW2000 instead (receive the same sensors in
parallel) with the Ecowtt Gateway (GW1000) driver,
or you will have to use the weewx Interceptor driver with the HP25x0
console custom server functionality
The interceptor driver as available on GitHub from M. Wall covers only
the basic sensors (T/H indoor, outdoor, rain, wind, solar).
If you have more sensors, you need to use a modified interceptor driver.
Some users here have developed an extended version which covers all
recent Ecowitt sensors.
The communiation from HP25x0 and GWyx00 console goes via WiFi into the
local LAN.
Weewx will pick up the data via local LAN (LAN or WLAN) depending on the
server on which weewx runs and its network interfaces.
There is no USB connection between consoles and weewx
The USB port on the GW1x00 consoles/gateways is for power supply only.
The USB port of the HP25x0 consoles is for factory use initial device
firmware only.

Right. And the GW1100 is plugged by USB to the weewx server,
right? or can weewx read GW1100 over wifi?

I have the feeling the protocol will be the same too. Same reason
as you.
The main issue that might occur is whether weewx GW1000 driver is
able to operate via wifi too or not? Looks like the HP2551 console
does not have a USB port (not sure though, couldn't find a photo).
And I wasn't able to find any info on Wifi connection on
https://github.com/gjr80/weewx-gw1000 nor about support for HP2551
or HP2552 or HP2553.
Anybody from GW1000 driver can answer?
Thanks,

I am unclear on details but am heading down the path of
figuring out
which EcoWitt station someone else should get. I lean to EcoWitt
because it seems to be reasonable quality at very low prices
and they
seem to be open-source and local-access no-cloud-required
friendly. So
many things are cloud-only which I consider a total fail -- the
interceptor driver is an impressive hack but it's a bad
situation that
it's necesary.
The GW1100 is included with a number of display-less stations.
As I
understand it, there's a local API and the driver is just
talking to
that API and injecting to weewx. Thus it should work if the
internet is
down (or if the GW1100 is firewalled to keep the data from
being sent to
their cloud), but I'm not 100% sure as sometimes devices have
code that
phones home and stops if that doesn't work.
Reading
https://shop.ecowitt.com/products/hp2551
it looks like there is the equivalent of the GW1100 inside the
console,
because it says it uploads to similar places, and there is a
list of
optional sensors that seems to match. It would be sane to
offer the
same API and for them to reuse their code and circuit design,
just
sharing the case/etc. -- and doing so would be consistent with my
impression of EcoWitt's approach.
However, skimming the driver github site I don't see direct
confirmation
that the HP2551 is wire-protocol compatible. With any luck
someone will
post that they've used the driver.
