ambient weather rain data

Featured Replies

I have been using Ambient Weather for some time to get data from my Rainwise station. Works great. I recently used the daily rain and rain rate in programming to turn off sprinklers. So, if rain is greater than 0.45 inches or 0.25 inches/hr, it shuts things off. For some reason, the program shuts off the sprinklers well before the criteria are met. Is there an issue with fractions of an inch?

Possibly. At one time the IoX software didn't really work with fractional values. However, it does have built-in definitions for rain and rain rate so I would expect it to handle them properly.

You'd have to collect the data that the plug-in is sending and what values the program is triggering at and that might provide some insight. Of course, being rain related makes it extra difficult since most of us don't get continuous rain (it may now be 5+ months before I see rain again.

OK. How do I collect the data the plugin sends?
