A few years ago I installed wview on a Raspberry Pi to get a Davis Vantage Vue weather station working. Wview is a nice program and does a lot, but it does to much and I really like what I see in this Perl program vanprod.
It looks like I can program in things I want and it will just do what i want, which is just communicate the weather data to CWOP and not log to a database or anything else. Plus there is a relay connected to the weather console that is controlled by an alarm to engage a device that may turn a solar panel to a safe position if the weather is bad.
In wview I can not find a way to talk to the console to engage the relay with an alarm. But in the PDF that shows Davis vue Serial communication commands, it can be done.

I would rather use vanprod on the weather station, but my big question is.
Do you think Raspberry Pi will support vanprod out of the box with no major edits or installs needed?
updated: fix spelling
