Thanks for the thoughts Storm and sbarthes! Im running an older RPI 3. I really like the idea using the BME280 sensor. I can pick one of those up on Amazon for $15 CDN. :)
I did find this weewx extension for the BME280 sensor… -> https://gitlab.com/wjcarpenter/bme280wx "bme280wx is an extension to weewx weather station software <https://weewx.com/>. It gives the ability to supplement existing station readings with temperature, pressure, and humidity readings from a Bosch BME280 integrated environmental sensor <https://www.bosch-sensortec.com/bst/products/all_products/bme280>” Im guessing that the BME280 will happly co-exist with the SDR that I’m using on the RPI. Think Im going to try this out.
