Apologies for pervious post not including the log.

But to repeat:  I'm running WeeWX with the WeatherLink Live driver on a Raspberry Pi. Communication with the WLL device (192.168.1.226) is working perfectly—all wind, pressure, and other data fields are updating correctly.

However, the rain field in the Belchertown skin remains at 0.00, even though the Davis WeatherLink app correctly shows rain activity (e.g., 0.05").

I have verified that the driver is polling and receiving broadcast packets. Could this be a mapping issue, or is there a specific weewx.conf configuration tweak needed to ensure the rain field correctly captures the accumulated total from the WLL stream for the skin?

My Weather config file looks like this:  

[WeatherLinkLive]

    # This section configures the WeatherLink Live driver.

    # Driver module
    driver = user.weatherlink_live_driver

    # Host name or IP address of WeatherLink Live
    host = 192.168.1.226

    # Mapping of transmitter ids to WeeWX records
    mapping = th:1, rain:1, wind:1, windchill:1, thw:1:appTemp, th_indoor, baro, battery:1

Again, many thanks in advance.

Never had an issue using the following:
[WeatherLinkLive]
    log_success = false
    driver = user.weatherlink_live
    host = wll.lan
    polling_interval = 10
    mapping = th:1, th_indoor, baro, rain:1, wind:1, solar:1, uv:1, thw:1, thsw:1, windchill:1
