Hello

The software was super easy to install and set up and there are lots of 
good documentation. I am, however, quite new at experimenting with PWSs. 

I would like to ask for some guidance though, as I can't seem to find the 
right information or determine the best approach. 

I built a small module (for another purpose) that also houses a BME280 
sensor for measuring temperature, humidity and air pressure, so that my 
module can double as a tiny PWS. 

I have the WeeWX server running, hosted behind Nginx and I installed an 
extension for the BME280. 

The server is currently running in simulation mode, so it's generating fake 
data. I can see from the logs that the LOOP for the BME280 is triggered and 
read. 

Since this isn't a standard PWS, is my only option to write a custom 
driver? I was hoping something would've built a small implementation like 
this already, but I can't seem to find any. There are cases where someone 
uses a BME280 as an additional sensor with (e.g.) and AcuRite PWS, but my 
setup is different as I only have the BME280 sensor. 

Otherwise, is there a neat trick in terms of setup that I'm missing? Can I 
imitate an existing PWS somehow (say, an AcuRite PWS) and have it's driver 
use only the extension for the BME280?

I would appreciate any pointers. I don't expect anybody to solve this for 
me: It's a new hobby, so quite happy to do the "hard" work if needed. 

Regards
Pieter
