Research direction

Start by comparing how firmware versions 1.17.1 and 1.18.0 handle BME280 telemetry over I²C on RAK4631 repeaters; the issue does not name the relevant files or tests. Check the sensor and telemetry entry points, then reproduce the report with a BME280. Done means 1.18.0 can read and report the sensor telemetry again.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I have repeaters that use RAK4631 radios and I use the I2C bus to get telemetry from BME280 sensors. This worked fine with 1.17.1 firmware. But as far as I can tell, the 1.18.0 firmware cannot get the telemetry from the BME280 sensors.
