Support for the Lufft R2S sensor

Ok running now, showing 0 which is good, its dry at the moment…
Is the RAW data updating as mainscreen update frequency?

yes, it should be the same update rate
you can add that custom tag to the main screen too , to keep an eye on the value

I just noticed when i restart WD, the minimum temperature on the mainscreen is set to zero.
Is it because theres an extra data field added? I didnt change the data position of it.

do you mean it did not used to do that, or?

Yes, when i restarted prior to this update, the minimum temperature was still present on the mainscreen datafield…
I will change the data position of it to see what happens.
Ive done that with other data fields to, because they didnt remember their value after a restart of WD.

What exactly means the data position number, the order in the data string?

Hi,

Ive made some changes in the data field number and it looks like its ok now.

Hi there,

How accurate is the rainfall measurement of the Lufft R2S sensor? I’ve looked it up in the manufacturer’s data but can’t see that quoted anywhere. It sounds like a very clever device, but perhaps it is designed more to show “it’s raining” or “it’s snowing” etc rather than as a measure of how much rain there has been. When it’s snowing, does it give the water equivalent? I would imagine not?

Perhaps you need some more experience with this device before answering such questions.

Thanks,

Thanks for your contribution😁

hi Brian,

is it possible when you have the time to have the rain resolution in 0,01mm?
is it shown on the mainscreen and in rainrate/charts/reports?

with kind regard.

Hi Brian, good morning.
I see its windy at yours 8O

Is it possible you have a look at the rainfall resolution when time allows?

With kind regards. :smiley:

can you post a screen shot?

Hi,

Yes, here are some screenshots:


use this update to be able to set the rain gauge type to 2 decimal places in the campbell scientific setup
so that is shown on the main screen rain totals

the last 7 days rain data is not stored to more than 1 decimal place

Hi Brian,

Running now.
Very much appreciated, really happy :smiley:

Hi Brian,

I have a question regarding the precipitation type.
When in the minute the type changes, what will wd show?

its not very clear what you are meaning exactly
are you reffering to the use of the custom tag for the rain type?

Yes Brian youre right.
Is it like WD uses an average or the value on the minute change?

no average
just what it is at that time the tag is updated

Ok thanks.
One more question: is it possible to have the precipitation type shown as soon as it detects precipitation?
Instead of after one minute?
Like the rain amount on the mainscreen is updating as soon as it detects rain.

the custom tags only update on the minute
