if you take the time to read the Ecowitt WiKi
https://meshka.eu/Ecowitt/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=start#data_flow_between_sensors_consoles_application_software_and_internet_weather_services
to understand how Ecowitt (clone) consoles communicate
and also the weewx chapter in the Ecowitt WiKi
https://meshka.eu/Ecowitt/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=dataloggers#weewx
you will get a better understanding of what you are doing and what you
have to do
also where (and how) to store your rain data
there are several ways/options how to do this
in short
1. you don't need the customized server when using the local Ecowitt API
driver (a.k.a. GW1000 driver)
2. there is also an extended version of the Interceptor driver which
even provides data the local Ecowitt API driver does not (and cannot)
provide.
The "bare-metal" version of the Interceptor driver as available in
Matthews repository is hopeless with a modern Ecowitt station and needs
quite a few adaptations
which a German developer has thankfully made and it works perfectly.
3. there are several advantages to using the GW1000 drivers, especially
to catch correct data as the customized server posting is (downward)
limited to 8 seconds,
whereas the local Ecowitt API driver can theoretically poll data on a
one-second basis if this is wanted and considered to provide added value.

oh and another question I forgot to ask...
I set the customizued server to enabled for the Interceptor Driver.
Now, I assume, for the GW1000 driver it is not needed anymore, right ?

Thanks guys, I switched now to GW1000 Driver. Test driver also
seems to be looking quite good.
Is there any chance to add the rain data in the database? I had
15.3mm rain yesterday, which is also the week, month and year
totatl, since I started the weather station on tuesday night.

In case you switch to the nice gw1000 driver via Ian's link,
here's my old config for my WS85 which is similar to your
WS90, as well as the incantation to test the driver
interactively. Be a little forewarned this was quite a while
ago and I decommissioned the ecowitt haptic sensor because it
wasn't too accurate, but the weewx setup did work as I recall.
Your paths vs. the example --test-driver below will vary if
you did a dpkg installation.

There is a fork of the GW1000 driver here which was synced
with Gary's main branch just before he went 'off air'. It
is a better bet than the Interceptor driver. I have
GW1000, GW2000 and GW3000 devices and they all wrk perfectly.

Also after some rain now, nothing shows up at rain.
There is also nothing written down in the database…
Anyone that can help?

Hey guys,
I've been going through some discussions but not
quite sure if I did everything rigth.
Due to the circumstances that the GW1000 Driver is
all of a sudden not available anymore, I decided
to use the Interceptor driver when I changed from
"Simulation" to "Productive" mode yesterday evening.
I found out that the rain is not available in the
database and saw some discussions about it.
What I now did was adding some values to the
Interceptor Stanza in the weewx.conf:
[Interceptor]
driver = user.interceptor
device_type = ecowitt-client
port = 8000
[[sensor_map_extensions]]
rain = drain_piezo
rainRate = rrain_piezo
supplyVoltage = wh90batt
referenceVoltage = ws90cap_volt
But it shows me no rain in my skins. Currently it
is not raining, but there was rain this morning.
Is the data only filling the actuall rain into the
database or also the data from this morning? If
not from this morning, how can I insert that data
afterwards ?
in the log it shows me the following entries:
Jun 4 14:46:10 weewx weewxd[1727]: INFO
user.interceptor: unrecognized parameter runtime=80319

so rain is showing some values here...
