Gary Here is a screenshot that identifies that RainRate was working earlier this year
[image: Screenshot 2021-07-24 at 11-16-50 Belvedere Ave, Waikanae, New Zealand Statistics.png] Here are extracts from my dkpg.log which shows when I updated. 2021-04-10 19:22:52 upgrade weewx:all 4.4.0-1 4.5.1-1 2021-04-10 19:22:52 status half-configured weewx:all 4.4.0-1 2021-04-10 19:22:56 status unpacked weewx:all 4.4.0-1 So I assume that RainRate was working until the update on 10 April 2021 as the screenshot shows a recording for March 11 I will try to get round to debugging as you suggest the next time it rains and I am able to. Please hang around and wait for me. Thanks for your help it is much appreciated.
