Rather than the driver expecting a different tag I think this is more of a 
case of WeeWX (by default when using the view_extended schema) expecting 
PM2.5 data to appear in the field pm2_5. The fact you are seeing your PM2.5 
data appear in the field pm2_52 and wh41_ch2_batt and wh41_ch2_sig are 
populated indicates your WH41 is appearing as WH41/43 channel 2 on your 
station. The field map extension approach suggested by Vince will certainly 
get your PM2.5 data into the field expected by WeeWX, but unless you have a 
specific reason for having your WH41 as channel 2 a more elegant solution 
is to use the Ecowitt WSView Plus app (via the More, Sensors ID menu) to 
move your WH41 from channel 2 to channel 1. This will result in your PM2.5 
data appearing in field pm2_5 with no need for any WeeWX changes (it will 
also see your WH41 battery and signal data appear in field wh41_ch1_batt 
and wh41_ch1_sig respectively). Your PM2.5 data will be saved to database 
and if you are using the current Seasons skin your PM2.5 data should be 
automatically displayed.

As an aside, it is also worthwhile disabling all unused channels via the 
WSView Plus app to prevent multi-channel capable sensors appearing on 
different channels should something cause the Ecowitt gateway device to 
re-register sensors.
