Thanks for the reply. Yes you are correct , I use MQTTSubscribe. I will
keep that delta value thing in mind. I want to make sure my weewx.config is
correct and need to know what to "connect" my hideki-rain guage to in the
config. SO here is the stanza in my config
# Hideki-Rain
# Hideki-Rain
[[[rtl_433/napali-server/devices/Hideki-Rain/4/0/rain_in]]]
# The WeeWX name.
name = rain_total
Is the 'name' correct? or do I use "rain", "rain_in" etc?
Thanks
