I know I saw, somewhere, a way to call an existing weewx method to convert units to whatever is needed, but I can't find it again. It may have been in a service in the Wiki rather than in the documentation, because I can't find it there.
Is there such a thing? I didn't like how limited the Adafruit program was and the dependencies, so I have fixed my first ever Python program to read the sensor. I'm ready to turn it into a service, with the options in weewx.conf and everything. I think. Anyway, I'd like to use the weewx conversion if necessary and possible.
