I don't know exactly what you mean when you say your rain is the "amount since last report." The field "rain" should be the amount of rain that fell during the archive period, so perhaps that's what you're already doing.
You say, "... the Season report shows the correct rain, as reported by the station, but sets Rain Today the same as rain." I'm not sure what you mean by that. The "Rain Today" is the *sum* of rain since midnight, not the rain during the current archive period. If what you mean is that it's not the same as what is being emitted by your hardware as "signal3" (aka "dayRain"), it should be. If not, there's something wrong in the calculation that derives the field "rain" from "signal3". Nevertheless, if you want to display exactly what is being emitted by your hardware, that's simple enough. Just use $current.signal3. But, be sure your hardware is emitting what you think it's emitting. Is it "rain since midnight"? Or, "rain over the last 24 hours"? Final comment: to avoid confusing yourself, why not just use the field name "dayRain" instead of "signal3"? I know it's not in the database, but new fields are super easy to add: wee_database --add-column=dayRain -tk On Fri, Sep 29, 2023 at 4:38 PM Craig Young <[email protected]> wrote: > My station (hardware) sends both rain (amount since last report) and daily > rain (accumulates rain).
