Hi Neville,
Within the [OWFS] section of weewx you need to specify a [[sensor_type]]
Firstly, you are correct with the count incrementing when the bucket
tips but you need to turn that into a time based value
A rain value is evaluated as the difference between the current count
and the last count for the time it was taken.
This is where the sensor_type comes into it.
owfs.py provides the function rainwise_bucket that assumes there is
0.1 " per tip ( 0.0254cm ) of the tipping bucket. By comparing the
current count with the last reading (count) taken, and knowing the
times involved it returns the measurement in cm.
So, to enable that function you need to specify the following after
your [sensor_map] section
[[sensor_type]]
rain = rainwise_bucket
Once that's done you'll find the maths is taken care of and tipping
water into the bucket will register a meaningful volume / measure.
If it's not 0.01" per tip you can adjust that value by using the
[StdCalibrate][[Corrections]] section of weewx.conf
Incidentally. You have owfs.py configured as a Driver and as a
Service. I'm thinking you only want the Service side of it, that way
it supplements your main stations data.
If that assumption is correct, remove the "driver = user.owfs " line
from the [OWFS] section. Leave the [Engine][[Services]] data_services
= user.owfs.OWFSService as it is
