I bought a rainsensor TFA type 30.3148. I noticed that the device in Vera UI only displays value for the “Total rain” in (mm). “Current Rain” (mm.hr ?) shows no value. In the Advanced tab I only see the variable "CurrentTRain"which is the same value as for "Total rain"visible in the Vera UI. I am on UI5 by the way. I asked Bert Weyenberg of RFXcom and he replied that this TFA sensor does not report the Current Rain value, only Total Rain. So now my plan is to calculate the value for Daily Rain and if possible show this in the UI and use "Current rain"for this. How ? By entering a new variable in the Advanced Tab and using luup code to calculate the Daily rain (= Total rain actual minus Total rain at start of the day) end setting this value into the new variable. Is this possible and also to show the value as “Current Rain”? I guess I have to know then what is the specific name in the plugin that is used for Current rain. Could this be “CurrentRain”?
I really hope someone can point me in the right direction to avoid me spending a lot of time without result or even messing up the device.
Did you see this thread? It seems very close to your question.
Thank you, I missed that one although I quite intensively follow this forum.
