I have a Davis Vantage Pro 2. My ISS is currently out of action and I just have an anemometer connected via an additional wireless sensor transmitter.

Due to not having an ISS no rain data can be recorded. However - unlike the other sensors (outdoor temp, outdoor humidity, etc...) the "Daily rain" is still shown as 0.0 on the console (the other sensors show "- -").
The rain is still being sent through in the loop packets and filling my weewx DB with 0 values for rain - which is wrong. I'd like to not record rain until I get my ISS with rain collector up and running again.

Is there a way to tell weewx to ignore the rain data in the loop packets?

Thanks

Try setting it to None in [StdCalibrate]:

[StdCalibrate]
  [[Corrections]]
    rain = None
    rainRate = None

You may also have to switch to software record generation. I'm not sure.

[StdArchive]
  record_generation = software

Thanks! The Corrections in StdCalibrate did the trick. I didn't need to change to software record generation.
