Yes, WeeWX calculates rain totals itself. When your power came back on, WeeWX should have downloaded stored records from your VP2's logger. Unless there is a very long power outage, your database should be complete. Are there batteries in your logger? If not, then not only will the computer fail during the power outage, but so will the logger.
Take a look in your system log from when your computer restarted and see what happened to prevent the download. If your logger is working correctly, the records may still be in there. The wee_device utility with the --dump command is used to recover them. To answer your 2nd question, yes, you can use value of dayRain emitted by your console. It is available as $current.dayRain. -tk On Tue, Jan 15, 2019 at 11:41 AM Antonis Katsonis < [email protected]> wrote: > I have a Vantage Pro2 and WeeWx version 3.4.0.
