Absolutely - I would like to generate MQTT data from a variety of low-cost 
sensors and write them to a secondary weewx db using an extension, while 
'still' using my VP2 weather station for most of the weather information.

Currently I do this by jumping through hoops a bit:
 - generate a JSON-formatted file on a raspi with a few sensors
 - have that raspi serve the file up via nginx
 - wrote a weewx sensor that grabs the url from the raspi and seeds my 
second db's archive with that data

I'd like to simplify things by replacing the pi nginx and the custom 'grab 
a url' extension with just subscribing to an aggregated MQTT topic with 
data coming from that raspi, plus (someday) other sensors like things 
attached to nodeMCU cards and the like.

So I'm hoping for a scenario that seeds a secondary db from a MQTT topic, 
in effect.   Kinda like the MQTT 'out' extension Matthew wrote, just in 
reverse.
