Oregon WMR89A and meteobridge

I'm trying to connect the Oregon WMR89A weather station to meteobridge, running on an RPi 4 with 4GB RAM without success.
In meteobrige the connection is as follows
Primary Station : meteostick Vantage Vue
Station 1: Air Link
Station 2: PurpleAir
Station 3: WMR89
With Connection: USB Serial and Device: /dev/ttyMH or /dev/ttyMH014 no station works!
If I select Connection: Serial and /dev/ttyS0 the original stations work but not the WMR89A!
The WMR89A console is connected to one USB 2.0 port of the RPi 4 and the meteostick is connected to the other USB 2.0 port.
On the RPi 4 there are still 2 free USB 3.0 ports
Am I doing something wrong with the connection?
Is there any other way to get the WMR89A console to work?
Thanks
SW Version: Meteobridge 5.8 (Dec 16 2023, build 3110), FW 1.3
Raspberry Pi 4 Model B

Both USB 2.0 ports of the RPI 4 are expected to work.
Can you give me remote access with the WMR89 connected to one of the USB 2.0 ports?
Please send credentials to "info(at)meteobridge.com".

Thanks, I can login. When inspecting the connected USB devices there is no WMR89 in sight.
Please see below, only the FTDI converter of Meteostick is recognized. Are you sure you currently have the WMR89 connected to one of the USB connectors? It should at least show up as USB device. BTW: It looks like you can use USB 2.0 and USB 3 ports.

I tested with two USB devices on my RPI 4 and it looks fine.

Did you add wmr89 as a fourth weather station?
what else do you want me to do?

Linux shell tells me via "lsusb" that the WMR89 is not connected. When you connect it, I can continue.

As I wrote, the WMR89 is connected to one of the two ports USB 2.0
You want me to connect it to a port USB 3.0?

The RPI does not see it, please try on USB3 ports.
Are you sure the WMR89 works at all? If the device is not showing up on the RPI at lowest interface level, that indicates that there is something wrong hardware wise.

Τhe Console displays the data from the sensors normally.
I will plug it into the USB 3.0 port and update right away!

The console works normally at windows 10.
I have added WMR89 as station 3.
1. With connected "USB Serial" , only the two air quality sensors are displayed and not the main station Vantage Vue and WM989.
2. with connection "Serial" , the main station is displayed together with the air quality sensors, but not the WMR89!
3. The console is now connected to the port USB 3.0

Still no sign of a connected WMR89 on HW level.
As long as it is not registered on your RPI4 as an USB device at all, any settings on Meteobridge level are useless.

First entry is the Meteostick, other three entries are USB hubs onboard of the RPI. No cp210x device that WMR89 normally offers.
I hardly doubt that you get any data out of this WMR89 console with any computer. The interface remains dump.

That is, the problem is detected in the Rpi 4 and not in the meteobridge?
What should be done in your opinion for it to be recognized by the Rpi 4 the console WMR89?

The problem is that it is NOT detected on the PRI operating system (running openwrt). It is not an issue with Meteobridge software or cp210x kernel drivers.
As said, I do not believe you can get data out of this specific station with any PC. It looks defective/disfunctional to me.
There is nothing I can do here.

Any other version of linux ιn combination with meteobridge could detect WMR89?
Anyway, in windows 10 the console is fully functional!
Thank you very much for your time

No, I don't think so, the USB port of WMR89 is dead IMHO.

Hard to believe from my experience, but you will know better.
Sorry, that I could not help you.
