Hello Christian, 

Many thanks to this solution.
I was looking for a solution for a Bresser Station (which uses only WIFI), 
but I want to use weewx further.

Could you please explain your solution more in detail for a newbie? ;-)
Which steps do I have to implement in my actual weewx 4.0. installation?

Thanks in advance, 
greetings
Peter
