The Ventus W830 is a Ecowitt WH2910 clone. In your mail it is not clear
what "it" means. Your RaspberryPi, weewx, the console.... ?
Maybe you should first make yourself familiar with your environment,
your setup, the architecture and then see where weewx comes into play.
I suggest you read https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40730.0 and
read the Ecowitt/FineOffset WiKi linked therein.
Read the chapters about data flow and understand where weewx comes into
play.
Then there are several chapters about how to connect an Ecowitt console
to data logger programs like weewx - even with the special example of weewx.
For your W830 you can (only) use the weewx interceptor driver, for your
GW2000 the Ecowitt gateway driver aka GW1000 driver.
The weewx WiKi, even though having significantly improved over time,
does not give too much attention to the Ecowitt universe yet.
But there is the Fine Offset / Ecowitt WiKi which jumps in here
regarding which Ecowitt (clone) consoles are supported.
The weewx WiKi itself is still widely focused on old legacy models of
Fine Offset clone consoles and stations.
So, I suggest you read this first (see above) and then come back here if
still needed - by the way, the Simulator driver is only to show that
weewx has been set up properly in principle. It won't work with your
console (Weather Station). Having read the weewx documentation you could
have understood that - but to be fair, it took me also a longer time to
come to grips with the jargon etc. used even though being an IT
professional.

I have just joined, and cannot get my Raspberry Pi configured for my
Ventus W830 PWS. It is linked to various Online Weather sites
including Weather Underground via it's Display. I also have it linked
to an Ecowitt GW2000 that is not currently linked to any Online
Weather sites.
I have read the User Guide, and followed various Tutorials, but I am
none the wiser as to why it does not work?
Is there a step by step guide that is written for a complete novice
like me to follow?
Although the Ventus W830 is listed in the Compatible Hardware List as
a Fine Offset model it does not appear in the Available Hardware Types
in the Software on my Raspberry Pi. I have tried using Simulator, plus
all of the (dozen or so) options for the various types of PWS listed
in the software.
What am I not doing correctly, or what I have missed, I have no idea?
I have just followed the Instructions in the "Guide". But there still
seem to be lots of CRITICAL __main__: errors in Red, so it is a bit
catistrophic?
I am not a programmer, nor that familiar with a Raspberry Pi. All I
know is what I have been struggling with here, and following YouTube
videos.
Any help would be very, very much appreciated.
