dayrainin should be more reliable than rainin, since rainin is a sliding 
one-hour window

the interceptor uses yearlyrainin for the observer hardware

for anyone out there designing hardware/firmware: please report absolute 
counter values, not values relative to some point in time.  reporting 
deltas is error-prone when there can be gaps in communication.

and don't make the sensors report a metric 10 different ways.  a single, 
reliable rain counter is much better than stuffing a packet full of rainin, 
dayrainin, monthrainin, yearlyrainin

(power monitors have the same issue)
