5n1 rain_total

[thespitz]

After updating weewxd, rtl_433 and weewx-sdr for the first time in ~6mo, weewx-sdr no longer appears to be parsing rain_total. But it does show in rtl_433 as rain_in.

$ PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/weewx python /usr/share/weewx/user/sdr.py --cmd="rtl_433 -M utc -F json -R 40"

Thank you!

Looks like the parser was only looking for rain_mm. Adding this to Acurite5n1PacketV2 seemed to do the trick

        if 'rain_in' in obj:
            pkt['rain_total'] = Packet.get_float(obj, 'rain_in')

thank you thespitz I followed your instruction and fixed my sdr issue also the acurite lightning 6045M have similar issue and fixed it by changing the identifier from "Acurite Lightning 6045M" to "Acurite-6045M" and removed this line " pkt['ussb1'] = obj.get('ussb1')" which is not needed after the latest change of rtl_433

Fixed the issue for me as well.

Did this change really fix things for you all? I've been noticing that the amount of rain reported by weewx is much less than AcuRite directly. I haven't been able to determine the issue. Off by .30 tonight seems kind of a big deal.
