The website for WeeWX mentions/shows under section compatible Hardware the HP3000 package (= Console with max. 8 T&H-sensors from FineOffset/Ambient).

At this moment the (probably) very similar package HP3001 from MiSol measures 5* T&H at my house.
Thinking about an online read-out etc. of it's USB-interface by a Raspberry.
Purpose: registration in SQLite3 and some graphic output as tables and/or graphs.

Not able to find any examples, but (considering the description at WeeWX's website) 'Re-inventing the wheel' to get started seems unnecessary effort:
has somebody an operational setup of HP300x & Raspberry, and willing to share the experience?

Some further search reveals that unde the name of Ambient Weather WS-3000 station much more applicable info can be found.

Borrowing some bits and pieces from internet [such as https://jackstromberg.com/2018/06/setting-up-weewx-with-a-raspberry-pi/ and https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-hp3000/issues/1 ] I got an operational configuration on a Raspberry, consisting of Raspian Buster + WeeWX3.9.2 + HP3000-driver + web-interface.
So far, so good, but it seems that the pieces of the chain are still not joint:

- no error reports

- no read-out visiblefrom my console HP3010

- lacking better choice I selected 'simulator' as weatherstation => the web-interface is showing 'fake-info'

- set FTP to point at an external server, but no uploaded report visible at the destination
