[Accumulator]
[[p_rain]]
extractor = sum
Seems to do the trick. I remember having it commented out in a prior
version and it didn't change anything I was aware of. Thanks for the help.
For hail, I think still think it shouldn't be mapped to the piezo gauge in
the driver, if you need it that way, I'd suggest you set it in the
Corrections Stanza in your config.
