you can set to use the console rain rate
(but I will test/check that here to make sure that is working as expected)
Hey …
Had a quick heavy rain event - once again it registered as 18.00"/hour which obviously wasn’t the case.
When it happens its either 18" or 26"
Anyways, regarding setting from console. Is this in the settings section - I see a check box for this.
However, how does this work since the console isn’t in the picture any more. Or is there another place in WD to make this happen.
yes that is the setting and yes it still applies
and I have tested and it works
Thanks… just enabled that… Will see how things go…

I’m sorry to report that even with the check box for use console rain, I still had a rain rate last night of 36.00"/hour
Btw to enable, I went into control panel/station type setting/davis - checked the box that said: "use rain total’s from console (not normally used)
you need to tick to use the Davis VP rain rate as well setting
Thanks… Missed that
Just updated now… More storms coming in tonight/tomorrow
the issue only seems to happen with heavier rain
We had some rain this week, even heavy. So far so good
Thanks Brian
