Hi Gary, Thanks for that. I can appreciate that other things can often rank higher on the ever changing ToDo list; such is its nature.
Will bookmark #813, and happy to test any code. I can probably fire up a separate instance of weewx with another ow adapter and rain ( hail / snow) counter if need be. Hope you (and others) are high and dry in this wet summer we are having. Seems odd to be in the middle of fire preparations but Aus really is a country of extremes.
