.Already have done a fresh install on the rpi..a few times, and the result is the same - rain is way too high.. I do have my old test bed weewx 3.9.1 running on another machine under Ubuntu 18.04. I have disabled ftp uploads to my web host and there is just the ATMOCOM driver running locally.

Success! Thanks for your help-greatly appreciated! There are two types of packets..looks like one goes to ambient weather and the other one goes to WU. Interestingly only every fourth packet goes to ambient. Note that the ambient packet contains extra fields. Here are some samples (sans

Hi Gary, Thanks for your help. Getting the log entries was hard fought as the usual sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog was stopped dead in its tracks. I managed to get the following from Ubuntu: 6:09:18 glenn weewx[1134]: engine: Main loop exiting. Shutting engine down. Dec 14 16:09:18 glenn

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.

Thanks to Gabor and Gary for their help in identifying and then suggesting a solution for the too high rain reading. It looks like I was publishing the rain rate instead of the daily rain! As I have learned, each weather station is different and the ATMOCOM udp driver sensor map must be

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.

Hi Gabor Thanks for your help. I just came in from outside after tipping about a 1 ml of water into my rain gauge as an experiment. I wanted to see what my test bed weewx would report. On the rpi it shows 6.1 mm and on my old linux notebook it showed the identical 6.1 mm rain...a fail once
