I just switched over to an INA219 sensor for monitoring the external battery voltage on my iGate, but having the sensor on the bus made my BME280 unavailable.

The reason is the default 0x40 address for the INA219 overlapping with the expected address for the Si7021 sensor.

Blanking out the used address after initializing the INA219 fixes the issue for me.
