Hi.

I'm wounding if I should get one of these rain sensor.

I would like to see past rain amount on the dashboard and get notifications if amount exceeds X mm

I assume this is the driver, what about an app?

Should I buy?

Very nice driver, I've just installed it, and it went like a charm! Thank you !

Do you have an idea why I can't find the installed Rain device in InfluxDB Logger list ? I think it misses some "rain*" capabilities in this logger code (Im using the InfluxDB Logger latest official code), but do you have a clue where I could patch/hack it to add those counters. Just a quick advice/help would be really appreciated, I'm learning I can do some RTMF too

Or shall I try to turn off and on the Hub again ?

Thanks

Forget it and pardon me, please forget my question, I just found my stupid mistake : I didn't manage to select it in the "Device to Manage" list in the InfluxDb logger list, I was on drugs....

"Noob un jour, Noob toujours !" Well done anyway for your driver, it's perfect.

Thanks, I have something working on my side but really have not had the time to document and publish the code. Hope I can take some time in the following weeks

Hi, This is my first z-wave/zigbee hub and just starting to learn.

I have few system discovered devices working perfect. But I am stuck with z-rain. I added the driver, then following docs also added the virtual device. Regardless with or without virtual device hub does not see the POPP Z-RAIN when I try to include it.

Would any one be kind to tell me what am I missing ? I resetted to factory default, swapped batteries and nothing. On the device I see this state:

State Variables

• driverInfo : {ver=1.1.2, configSynced=false, status=Current version}
• deviceInfo : {lastbatt=1622986672586}

Also in github for the driver there was json and groovy ... I just use only raw groovy.

Many thx,
R.

@robert13: Are you sure that is the correct z-wave frequency? It could be that the Hub is using a different frequency from the device. If this is the case, there's no so much to do, because the devices are working on 2 different frequencies.

@syepes: Is still working? I don't find any reference to this particular device in your GitHub page. I'm thinking to buy one because I don't need a big WeatherStation but I also wouldn't to depend from an online service.

@syepes : sorry, I'm bit blind. Doing too many things together is not for me. I've just seen in the list. Thanks!

[syepes]

No problem, but just to confirm its working with C4 and C7 without any issue

Super, thank you!
