Make sure you have read the section *Porting to new hardware <file:///home/tkeffer/git/weewx/docs/customizing.htm#porting>*. In particular, the section *Implement the driver <file:///home/tkeffer/git/weewx/docs/customizing.htm#Implement_the_driver>* .
LOOP packets and archive records should contain *the amount of rain that fell* during the LOOP packet period or the archive interval, respectively, as field "rain". This is what is put in the database. Your generated file does not contain "rain". In the reports that come with WeeWX, the type dayRain is not used. Nor is it stored in the database. Instead, WeeWX *calculates* the rain since midnight by summing up all these small contributions of field "rain". If you don't have it, then you will get zero.
