Hi, I've just installed the MQTT extension ( https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/mqtt) to get my readings into my home automation system (Home Assistant) and it works perfect! But I have a question about the topics sent.
But I would like to have the total amount of rain the last 7 days. Not rain this week, but accumulated amount for the last 168 hours. So I could get a notice that maybe it is time to take out the garden hose... In the available topics I find: rainRate rain rainTotal rain24 dayRain hourRain I figured out that rain24 must be the amount accumulated the last 24 hours. The rest is still a guess. (For some reason it has stopped rain the one time I want some rain) I found another thread here about custom topics ( https://groups.google.com/d/msg/weewx-user/NBG_-D-Hghw/Nx6426vtBgAJ) and there the author of the extension answered that it is not possible to use aggregation templates for this extension. It can only publish LOOP-packages or archive records. I have not stated anything to bind to in my settings, so it should be the default, which should be archive records. About two years ago I wrote my own (not very nice one) "extension" to send archive records to my previous automation system (Domoticz). And the only three records about rain I could find then was: rainRate rain rainTotal And if I look in the documentation of weewx ( http://www.weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#archive_types) I can only find: rainRate rain So my question is; where is rain24, dayRain and hourRain picked up? And is there any way to publish a topic for lets say: rain7days? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
