Hi,

Sorry for the late reply.

The rainfall per min is an integration sensor (https://esphome.io/components/sensor/integration.html) where the total daily rain is an total_daily_energy (https://esphome.io/components/sensor/total_daily_energy.html). If it rains a lot in a short period of time, the value from the integration can increase very quickly.

The important thing is to make sure the accumulation is consistent at the end of the day.
