cumulative rain totals

Post by andybalt »

My fondest wish is that Meteohub would provide continuous cumulative daily, monthly and weekly rain totals (such as those available on the VP console and on Weatherlink.) This is the one thing that would make a Meteohub a perfect solution for me. I am getting ready to add this information using the convoluted solution of sending the data to the Davis weatherlink IP service then to weather underground, then pulled to my website. Ugh!

Would it be possible to keep a set of rain counters and update them whenever the rain value increases so that the amounts reported in the Weather Display LIve (and xml files) are as current as the VP console for these values?

Meteohub is a very attractive solution for me due to it's low power consumption (I am off the grid using 100% solar power) and ability to push data to a remote web server (I have to use a niche radio-wave based internet service and can not use dynamic dns to pull data because I am on a subnet and my provider will not open a port to pass-through to me.) Most of the activity to our weather page comes *during* rain storms when people would like to see what's happening and the users find the delayed totals confusing.

Thanks very much for a great product!

This is a problem for me again this year as we've entered the monsoon season. As soon as the rain starts, people jump onto the website but it is very slow to show the amount of rainfall (or even that any has occurred) in Weather Display Live and Weather Underground.

Meteohub would be perfect for my needs if it would keep running totals of rainfall so that WD and WU updates were reasonably current. The lack of this one feature has me looking again at PC based software solutions (yuck!)

Is there any chance at all that this will be implemented??

one hour, 24h, month and annual cumulative rain totals and graphs is a must totally agree with this feature to be implemented in Meteohub/wunderground uploads

Does Meteohub automatically resets to cero all rain totals at the start of each calendar year?
