Enable wmII to work with `wee_device` to access hardware configuration

[jardiamj]

Currently, you cannot use wee_device to access the hardware configuration of the Weather Monitor II station. This would be useful for:

• Setting the station time
• Setting calibration for: -- Indoors Temperature, -- Outdoors Temperature, -- rain, -- Indoors Humidity, -- Outdoors Humidity, -- pressure, and -- wind

In order to make the driver compatible with wee_device, we need to implement a configurator class and implement the configurator_loader method, e.g.:

def configurator_loader(config_dict):
    return WMIIConfigurator()

class WMIIConfigurator(weewx.drivers.AbstractConfigurator):
   ...
   def description(self):
      ...
   def usage:
      ...
   def add_options(self, parser):
      ...
   def do_options(self, options, parser, config_dict, prompt):
      ...

We can use the Vantage driver as an example. The file can be found under /usr/share/weewx/weewx/drivers/ in Debian systems.

Most of the logic to implement the feature is already in the driver. I will try to address it but am quite busy these days. If someone else wants to pick it up, please be my guest.

@operaphile, You also wrote that the driver is not working after a reboot. What do you have in the logs?

Hello, The driver works fine but the pressure vdata was not showen at weewx. Why?

Hello, did you solve the Problem and is your system now running? I want also to use my WMII with a raspberry pi. How did you connect the serial port to the raspberry USB port?
