[wxsig] Humidity and Pressure Sensor Support

[William Beals]

Folks:

In talking with John, it appears that AAG have made some significant design
changes to the TAI8570 pressure sensor.  They are now using different 1-wire
devices that the T238s do not support.

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.
