I should have clarified, Gabor is exactly right, you originally had the following in your sensor map: rain = rainindelta.ITEHKUMM2 this uses a synthetic rainindelta field created by the driver based on the WU rainin. You need use a similar synthetic field based on dailyrainin (or some

Thanks for spending all this time in looking at this issue. As mentioned to Gabor, dailyrainin may have created a phantom rain event so I am trying dailyrainindelta. This looks promising as I did another experiment and dumped water in the rain gauge to simulate a rain event. and weewx reported

Thanks Gabor for your help on this. The ATMOCOM driver allows you to use WU sensor mapping or the Ambient mapping if you have a Fine Offset or clone weather station ( but not both) so I should be OK. dailyrainin created a 2 separate hourly unrealistic high rainfall> 200mm just before

Glenn, I've spent some time working through the atmocom driver and I think I have a basic understanding of it now. You are correct in that you need to map run to dailyrainin (or one of the other cumulative rain fields). Your sensor map is using fields from the WU posts so you can ignore the

I ran the ATMOCOM data logger/parser and this is what it is seeing.(see below) This should be in WU format and it looks like it is in all US units. The 0.04 inches of rain is about 1 mm which is what I dumped into the rain gauge this morning. I have edited things for readability.

Hi, I think you are going to need to see those raw packets to fix this. I just looked at the driver code and the log raw packets code is pretty basic. When you set log_raw_packets = True what do you see in the log? This part should be easy to fix. When posting the log make sure you include

Hi, Look at the days when you see rain. Does it distribute the same way on WeeWX and WU? Let's say WU is correct and the ATMOCOM driver has an issue. So WeeWX receives a wrong value or amount of values. I have seen before with interceptor, that it has received old packets for some reason. It

Uploading to WU and Ambient is done directly from the Ambient WS-2000 hardware console/display. Uploading to Windy and AWEKAS is done through weewx. Weewx also uploads to some of my weather34 templates so if weewx is not reporting rain correctly, any template using weewx is also incorrect.
