OK - haven't tried Python3 yet - back on the rain issue. We've had some rain this morning, and it is NOT picking up in WeeWx; captured some debug this morning; but will not be able to look at it until later today or perhaps over the weekend. As I recall, this happened when I upgraded to 4.2 and one of fix (in addition to changes in sdr) was to add the "rain = prefer_hardware" line.
Will try to do some debugging over the weekend and let you know. Working on a Pi based Snow Depth detector as well, since we're getting snow now.
