Rain Totals issue with Ecowitt setup

[Jeff Burricelli]

Is anyone using the ECOWITT Wittboy Pro Weather Station HP2564, with 7 Inch HP2560 TFT Display Console and WS90 Outdoor Weather Sensor combo?  My rain totals keep increasing through out the day, even if no more rain occurs.  From running in console mode, I feel like the ecowitt is reporting its total rain itself, but weewx is taking that number and just adding it to its own total each loop.  This combo is not supported by the ecowitt gateway drive, so I am forced to use the interceptor.   Here is my interceptor config which I used based off other posts here:

[Interceptor]
    driver = user.interceptor
    device_type = ecowitt-client
    port = 8000
    [[sensor_map_extensions]]
        rain = drain_piezo
        rainRate = rrain_piezo
        supplyVoltage = wh90batt
        referenceVoltage = ws90cap_volt

Thanks!

Hi,

Also noticed the same. Did you ever get anywhere with this?

Am thinking about changing the console to use WU format, and changing interceptor to use wu-client. But haven't got that far yet

RRB.

Me too!

Did you get anywhere with this?

'rain' in weewx is a delta. Looking at the Interceptor code, I believe you need to map to either dailyrain or yearlyrain and Interceptor will work out the delta for you. In your case I suspect it is dailyrain. There is also an request to support monthly and weekly if they are available in the sensor map.
