I'm looking for a weather station that just provides temperature, humidity and possibly barometric pressure. While I haven't gone through every device listed on the weewx website, so far ever one listed is no longer being sold. 

Any recommendations for a newer unit?

Thanks,
Clifford

Usual questions apply starting with:
  • what's your budget ?
  • inside ?  outside ?  both ?
  • do you require LAN-only or is it ok if the gear requires Internet connectivity to a vendor's site ?
  • do you need a turnkey solution or do you want to build your own
An Ecowitt GW1000 gateway for $29.99 does inside T+H+pressure, and add their outside WH32 sensor for another $12.99 if you want to go super inexpensive, but be forewarned that the gateway requires internet connectivity in order to function.   You need a gateway in order to run the weewx driver.

You could alternately build something reasonably comparable for about $15 plus a raspberry pi or arduino if you wanted to go that way.

I am also in the market for a new station.
 - My budget is $100-300 range.
 - Both inside and outside would be nice, but mostly outside.
 - So long as I can collect the data with WeeWx on my current Raspberry Pi install, I don't care if it phones home.
 -` Either turnkey or build my own.
 - Would like UV sensor

From what Vince suggested, I may start looking at the Ecowitt solutions, but I am open to other solutions.

It would be nice to see the current list of stations update to stations that are currently available.

fyi - you might want to check the "What Weather Station Should I Buy?" forum at wxforum.net (link) for dozens of threads
