cumulative rain totals
Posted: Thu Jul 29, 2010 7:06 pm
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!
