Rain Rate Notification/Alerts when heavy rain

[kimhav]

With regards to the current notification one can setup for a rain gauge device seems to be based on the accumulated rain for the recent 24h or the current day (haven't paid the much attention to it yet). But, is missing which would be more interesting and crucial in some areas if one could setup a notification based on the rain rate which makes more sense to get indication about potential flooding issues. Here in Sweden the definition of heavy rain is at least 50 mm per hour or at least 1 mm per minute. So being able to define an alert on both attributes would be great and help people to get quick and helpful alert.

Is this already possible with some tweakings or simple scripts or would this be a feature request which I'm happy to raise if I'm not the only one who thinks this is a necessary improvement?

I agree, this would be really nice!
