Hi Paul It has been a while since I did some configuration on a WS6in1, but will give it a try.
According to this manual your rain gauge should have a resolution of 0,254 mm (0,1 inch): https://www.bresser.de/out/media/4ee6aeed2a360e23fae7b37bbd3f1de7.pdf You followed these instructions in the manual to set the rainfall unit to mm on the console? To set the rainfall unit 1. Press and hold [ RAIN ] key for 2 seconds to enter unit setting mode. 2. Press [ GRAPH / Ʌ ] or [ HISTORY / V ] key to toggle the rainfall unit between mm and in. 3. Press [ RAIN ] key to confirm and exit the setting. In weewx.conf your configuration should show this: [[Defaults]] [[[Units]]] # The following section sets what unit to use for each unit group. # NB: The unit is always in the singular. I.e., 'mile_per_hour', # NOT 'miles_per_hour' [[[[Groups]]]] group_rain = mm # Options are 'inch', 'cm', or 'mm' Regards, Arend Op zaterdag 8 mei 2021 om 18:14:22 UTC+2 schreef Paul Eaton: > Since November last year I've been happily running a Bresser PC 5in1 > station using WeeWX (now using version 4.5.1) with the WS6in1 driver but I > have a question about the Rain (total) values I'm recording.
