Hi everyone,

I´d appreciate your confirmation if AcuRite 00899 rain gauge is supported with rtl_433 driver and weewx SW.

https://www.amazon.com/AcuRite-00899-Wireless-Self-Emptying-Collector/dp/B004V1XJW0/ref=pd_cp_86_2/140-8020718-1374666?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B004V1XJW0&pd_rd_r=895aa3c2-976b-4f91-8aef-c51c6d4b1411&pd_rd_w=k5DVw&pd_rd_wg=LDcu3&pf_rd_p=8b7a1fd1-136c-4b2c-8fd7-681e38610ce2&pf_rd_r=MCBAE241JBCQKBSN5DN2&refRID=MCBAE241JBCQKBSN5DN2&th=1

Watching the list of sensors with "rtl_433 -h" only shows an AcuRite rain gauge 00896 under #10, which btw is commented out, so you have to invoke it specifically. From my understanding this 00899 sensor is an upgrade from the previous 00986, but I'd appreciate your confirmation before I buy some at Amazon.

In case it is not supported, any other rain gauge (@433Mhz) you would recommend?

Thanks in advance for your comments!
