the simulator can provide weewx with data - generated from the simulator driver - but you cannot (without more effort) add additional data to the simulator data. Weewx is not designed for that really - it is intended for getting nd archiving data from a weather station and the simulator can be used for generating data in the database whilst creating reports etc.
weewx is not a general display program - it is a database input program really. so go ahead and use the simulator driver to generate data in a database for your dashboard - but forget about other sources of data within weewx.
