I have an Ambient Weather WS-2902.  I also have a GW-1000 wifi bridge.  The Ws-2902 and GW-1000 both report proper weekly rain to ambient weather.com, and ecowitt.com.  Also to the WS View app.

But, the MQTT send to my homeassistant reports weekRain that is way off.
Monthly rain looks good.

the GW100 is sending weeklyrainin.
And monthlyrainin.
But, the MQTT is sending to homeassistant:
monthRain_in.  Which contains good data.
weekRain, which is bad data.

Where do I start?
My son has the same setup, and the same results.

With the help of my Son, we have it running.
The mqtt weekRain is in mm.  Not inch.
He created a template to convert it from mm to inch, and it is good now.

Also, daymaxwind was in Meters per Second.  So he converted to MPH.
