Netatmo Rain error?

Post by dgilbert2 »

I've just noticed that Domoticz 2022.2 reports different rain levels to the Netatmo app.

I.e., today the Netatmo App reports that we had 14.5mm of rain which seems about right, yet Domoticz only reports 4.0mm. This seems to be since 2022.2, anyone else seen this issue or what a solution might be?

What are you comparing/checking in Domoticz for your Netatmo-rain?
1. RainToday since 00:00 CET
2. Rain_Last24hour

The difference can be significant, considering showers in the evening yes or no.
[Question raised, because a Netatmo-dataset natively reports rain_60min, rain_24hr and rain_live with rain_timeutc (although the UTCtime reported usually more looks like CETtime),
meaning that Domoticz should extract&recalculate to get RainToday]
Set1 = RPI-Zero+RFXCom433+S0PCM+Shield for BMP180/DS18B20/RS485+DDS238-1ZNs
Set2 = RPI-3A++RFLinkGTW+ESP8266s+PWS_WS7000
Common = KAKUs+3*PVLogger+PWS_TFA_Nexus
plus series of 'satellites' for dedicated interfacing, monitoring & control.

Hi,

I am doing some checks on my Netatmo rainmeter and have found some discrepancies between what Netatmo app displays and the Domoticz values.
Today, starting with all values = 0, I manually put in some water into the meter, I heard 10 clicks.
In the Netatmo web GUI, the "Rainrate" is shown as 0,6 mm/h and the "Today" value shows 0,6mm which I think are correct values.
In Domoticz the Rain device shows "Rainrate" 0,2mm and the "Total" (which I think is from midnight) also shows 0,2mm.
In the Domoticz device list the Rain device has the values "20;11,6". Before pouring water into the gauge these values were "0;11,4".
I interpret this as the 20 is displayed as 0,2mm/hr rainrate and the total is calculated by 11,6 minus 114 = 0,2mm total today.
I believe the 11,6 is maybe the monthly total and just counting up as more rain falls. Domoticz keepz track of the daily total.

But, why does Netatmo app show 0,6mm and Domoticz only 0,2mm?
I think the value download from Netatmo server is what it is but there must be a "calibration" type of calculation in Domoticz

Anyone that can comment on this?
