[wxsig] Humidity and Pressure Sensor Support

[John Vause]

Can someone has the TAI8570 pressure sensor working with the T238 and 
original Dallas wind sensor (wind dir/speed) and rain gauge please email 
me how they did it.

I've upgraded my T238 to 1.15.8R firmware but it doesn't detect the 
TAI8570.

Thanks.
