Hi there.

Could someone tell me is the rain sensor value of rain0total-sum24h the last 24hrs at the time or from midnight to midnight as is the raintotal per day.

Basically I'm looking to somehow get a rain total of a the last 24 hours period at 7am in the morning in a template for evaluation purposes. Is this possible to do?

would just making a template with rain0total-sum24h and calling it in services at 7am suffice? or is there another way?

any help would be great.

At the time of application, sum24h is for the last 24 hours to the time of application, if run at 7am then it is for the 24 hour period to 7am

Also FYI there is a sum30h which is useful in some countries where they have a 9am and 3pm observations, at 9am sum24h is for the 24 hour period to 9am, for the 3pm observation on the same day the 6 hours to 3pm is sum6h and the 24 hour period to 9am is sum30h-sum6h

Thanks, I have a CocoRaHS rain gauge that I'm using to evaluate against the new Davis Tipping Spoon. I take a reading around 7am each morning before I goto work and wanted a process to read a simple value at 7am of the last 24hours on the Davis ISS. running a template, with "[rain0total-sum24h]" uploading it to my website with a date/time filename will suffice.
