In the Vantage Pro2 Console the wind is displayed in km/h,
but in the MQTT stream in "windSpeed_mps "and on the weewx-website the values are also in miles/h not km/h like text (picture), in the graph again in km/h.

with

[[MQTT]]
unit_system = METRICWX

the wind display is wrong but the rain display is correct

with

[[MQTT]]
unit_system = METRIC

the wind display is correct but the rain display is too small by factor 10

How do I solve this problem?

[[MQTT]]
unit_system = METRIC

...

[[[inputs]]]
[[[[rainRate]]]]
units = mm_per_hour
[[[[rain]]]]
units = mm
[[[[hourRain]]]]
units = mm
[[[[rain24]]]]
units = mm
[[[[dayRain]]]]
units = mm
[[[[ET]]]]
units = mm
[[[[dayET]]]]
units = mm
[[[[ET24]]]]
units = mm

Thanks works.
Why do not all values have to be listed here?
Where is defined which values are in the MQTT stream?

The METRIC unit system describes default units for all observation types known to WeeWX. You need to list only, where you want to use another unit than the default unit for that unit system.

If you include obs_to_upload = inputs in the MQTT configuration, then the observation types listed in the [inputs] section are sent only.
