Unfortunately (for you), WeeWX mostly uses observation type "rain", the amount of rain that fell since the last loop packet (what you are calling "instantaneous rain").
You should assign the rain since midnight to type "dayRain". Then calculate "rain" as the difference between successive "dayRain" values. While this is a pretty simple calculation, there is an xtype that can do it for you. See class Delta in weewx.wxxtypes <https://github.com/weewx/weewx/blob/master/src/weewx/wxxtypes.py#L586>. To use it, add this to weewx.conf: [StdWXCalculate] [[Calculations]] ... [[Delta]] [[[rain]]] input = dayRain On Wed, Jan 17, 2024 at 11:47 PM Remy Lavabre <remy.lava...@gmail.com> wrote: > Good morning, > > I created a [driver] for weewx to retrieve data from the Awekas API (my > Bresser weather station does not have a USB port). > > This works but regarding the rain, it is not the instantaneous rain (from > a packetloop) that we recover but the rain over 24 hours since midnight. > Is there a "simple" way to tell WeeWX that the packetsloop rain data > corresponds to the cumulative rain since midnight and not the rain that > fell during the data retrieval interval (the time gap between two > packetsloops) ? > > Thank you so much... > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "weewx-user" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to weewx-user+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/weewx-user/9887101f-fcc1-45ce-948e-e03429bf7baan%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/weewx-user/9887101f-fcc1-45ce-948e-e03429bf7baan%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
