Hello
Since installing and testing 4.0.0b5 (working really well) I noticed my
rain reports were reporting incorrectly and going in jumps of 2.54mm rather
than 2mm.
I looked at the data in the archive database (using METRIC), and it was
reporting rain as 0.0254 (ie 0.254cm)
Looking at the loop data as well and it was reporting 0.06 inch for dayRain
(0.15cm), though my weather station is reporting 0.12cm

windSpeed: 5.0, windSpeed10: 5.0, yearET: 27.93, yearRain: 29.23
In summary I started looking at the vantage.py code and I believe it is
because dayRain said
'dayRain' : lambda p, k: float(p[k]) / 100.0,
and I think it should be calling the _decode_rain function
_loop_map = {
'altimeter' : lambda p, k: float(p[k]) / 1000.0 if p[k] else None,
'barometer' : lambda p, k: float(p[k]) / 1000.0 if p[k] else None,
'consBatteryVoltage': lambda p, k: float((p[k] * 300) >> 9) / 100.0,
'dayET' : lambda p, k: float(p[k]) / 1000.0,
'dayRain' : _decode_rain,
'dewpoint' : lambda p, k: float(p[k]) if p[k] & 0xff != 0xff
else None,
Loop data is now reporting 0.0472440942 inch which equals 0.12cm.
