I did not write the WMR9x8 driver, but looking through the code, whether or
not it can report dewpoint depends on the type of sensor you have.
In any case, another option would be to ask WeeWX to calculate dewpoint for
you. To do this, set option dewpoint in StdWXCalculate to 'software':
[StdWXCalculate]
[[Calculations]]
pressure = prefer_hardware
barometer = prefer_hardware
altimeter = prefer_hardware
windchill = prefer_hardware
heatindex = prefer_hardware
dewpoint = software
inDewpoint = prefer_hardware
rainRate = prefer_hardware
