MySensors Rain Gauge

---

Hey,
i just have build me a rain gauge by this tutorial:
https://www.mysensors.org/build/rain

i see in the terminal that it work - but, how dit i become the variables to my Pimatic?

thanks

This is the example config for a device with nodeid 51.

 {
      "attributes": [
        {
          "name": "RainRate",
          "nodeid": 51,
          "sensorid": 3,
          "sensortype": 7,
          "type": "integer",
          "booleanlabels": [
            "true",
            "false"
          ],
          "unit": "tips/h",
          "label": "Rate"
        },
        {
          "name": "Rain",
          "nodeid": 51,
          "sensorid": 3,
          "sensortype": 6,
          "type": "float",
          "booleanlabels": [
            "true",
            "false"
          ],
          "unit": "mm",
          "label": "Total",
          "acronym": "Total"
        },
        {
          "name": "Tripped",
          "nodeid": 51,
          "sensorid": 4,
          "sensortype": 16,
          "type": "boolean",
          "booleanlabels": [
            "true",
            "false"
          ]
        }
      ],
      "xAttributeOptions": [],
      "id": "raingauge",
      "name": "RainGauge",
      "class": "MySensorsMulti"
    }

Sensor types you will find at https://www.mysensors.org/download/serial_api_20#set,-req

The example sketch uses configuration parameters which are retrieved b request from gateway. As far as I know this is not supported yet by pimatic.
https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/494/mysensors-data-request

But alternatively you cannot live with the default settings in the sketch, modify the sketch or send the config variables with a send command from pimatic. The latter you can do e.g. with VariableInputDevice devices and a rule. Not safe but a suitable workaround.

send custom \"V_VAR1\" nodeid: \"51\" sensorid: \"3\" cmdcode: \"$rain-window.input\"

send custom \"V_VAR2\" nodeid: \"51\" sensorid: \"3\" cmdcode: \"$rain-sensorthreshold.input\"

I forgot the rain history for the last 5 days. Here a more complete device definition:

Thank you very much

i will inform you when my setup is ready
