The adaptors for the console are discontinued. Davis now sells the WeatherLinkLive device, only. 

To use WeatherLinkLive you do not need a console at all. Unfortunately you cannot use the device without setting it up by connecting it to the cloud of Davis.

The drivers for the old adaptors can read data saved in the device. That's why you do not loose data if weewx is down for some time. The drivers for WeatherLinkLive cannot read those data. Davis prevents it.

Only the IP data logger is discontinued:

The USB and serial loggers are still being sold by Davis:

ok ... and with weatherlink cloud weewx gets all current and historical data (I have seen that there is a weewx extension for weatherlink live to work). QUESTION: can I buy a davis vantage pro2 with weatherlink live and have historical data with weewx? (using the extension)

Yes you can. I have a Davis Vantage Vue and Weatherlink Live and have that ability with weewx

You can still find the 6510USB for sale online.

I'm coming into this conversation late, but I just want to be sure I'm understanding correctly. From what I've read here, it seems that the only way to get data from a Vantage Pro 2 into WeeWX is to 1) upload data from Vantage to Davis's Weatherlink cloud service, then 2) download data from Weatherlink to WeeWX. Is this correct?

In short, nope.  Not correct.   I'll followup in the other thread you opened (please stick with one place to ask, moving forward)

Sorry for asking essentially the same question in two different threads. Newbie error. Thank you, Vince, for pointing that out.
