Hi Paul, /usr/share/weewx/user/interceptor.py dated Jan 16 - DRIVER_VERSION = '0.52'
I guess there must be a difference between the HP2551 and GW1000. I did see the current record rain_rate increase in the web page, but rain today did not, and the graph does not show any rainfall. I will attempt to increase the level of logging ahead of next rainfall to see if I can capture what is coming from the device.
