Rain values are not accurate enough #6

Hi @benningm

If I compare the values between the my.netatmo.com portal and my self hosted Grafana which is getting the data via the netatmo data porter script from my InfluxDB I can see that the data on Grafana does not match them on the official Netatmo App / Web Portal.

Example: Daily Rain (sum today) On Netatmo: 10.4 mm On Grafana: 7.5 mm

rain_official

rain_grafana

Also the hourly data is not identical, that's the reason why the daily sum cannot be correct.

hourly_official

hourly_grafana

Any ideas?

Thanks JO!

What I have found: https://any-api.com/netatmo_net/netatmo_net/docs/public/getmeasure

There is also an array function with "sum_rain"... but I don't know if it helps. If it helps, then only for the daily value... the hourly cannot be fixed with it because the data will be pulled every 10mins.

The script does only retrieve the values from the API. So this should not be a problem of the script.

I guess you have a rate and what you want is a counter value.
