One wire to the chosen GPIO pin (set in weewx.conf) and one to GND. Nope. I might keep it for a future project, but not used here
Yeah I'm guessing it's just because the wire is not direct burial rated. I'll be routing mine through PVC I keep it in a shed in the orchard. All components are mounted to a piece of plywood. For power I have a 20w solar panel with a Renogy Wanderer solar charge controller and a 6Ah battery. I may increase the battery size, as the system also powers an OpenSprinkler controller and 16 zone extender. The Pi serves as a WeeWx host, MQTT bridge with my HomeAssistant server and reverse proxy to serve the Open Sprinkler. I'll add an Ecowitt HS80 and GW1100 soon to complete the station. I may once I finish things up, but there's not much to see with the GPIO Rain Gauge since literally the only setup is connecting the two wires to the two RPi pins.
