It would be great to be able to use AM2315 over i2c. Adafruit does have a library https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_AM2315 Would a PR adding support for this sensor be accepted?

Note that adafruit's lib is c++ and possibly (?) intended for adrunio/avr only so some work would be required to first build a python package.

At this time this sensor does not appear to work well on the Raspberry Pi. We’ve seen mixed success, but YMMV.

Great -- I've had one sitting around for awhile...

What I want to do, instead of adding individual sensors (because every time, someone wants a different sensor) it's to create a generic "python" input, where it would be easy to extend the plugin to any temperature input.
That is on my top to do list, and I want to work on if on the next few weeks.
