Hi All,
Recently purchased a Oregon PCR800 rain gauge. It was picked up straight away by the RFXCOM and easily added into HS3.
I need help understanding the devices. So far my total is showing 0.2mm of rain with a 2.79mm/hr rate. It's not rained here for over 2 hours, but it's still reporting this. I had assumed the rate would change to 0mm/hr but the 0.2mm total would remain.
Looking at the debug output I can see the sensor sending the following information regularly..
Even two hours after the rain stopped, it's still showing 2.79mm/h.. should that not have gone to 0?
I had also assumed to reset the accumulated total, I would simply set the device value and string to 0, but if the sensor keeps sending total = 2mm, then the next update would just set it back to 2mm?
Any guidance appreciated.

Code:
