I live in Spring Branch, Texas and we’ve had lots of rain. I noticed yesterday the WFPIConsole is showing a lower daily total than what is on the Tempest App. The amount shown on the WFPIConsole for yesterday is 1.67" where the Tempest app shows 2.25". Is there an update that is needs, a configurat…

A few questions … do you have the Tempest app configured for NearCast rain? Are you using UDP or WebSocket in wfpiconsole? I have seen some results that seem to show that wfpiconsole via WebSocket is returning NearCast values … but, that is a guess. UDP returns values locally, so, no NearCast is in…

Thanks for reaching out. I do not have NearCast enabled within the Tempest App. The console is set to use WebSocket. It’s raining and the Tempest App is showing .82 while the Console is showing .58. I was watching it after the rain started and for some strange reason, the amount reset itself back to…

FYI… I shut down the WFPIConsole and rebooted the Raspberry unit and noticed after the system was up, there was an update. I installed the update and restarted the system, then started the WFPIConsole and the rain data seems to be correct. I will check it over the next couple of days and if I notice…

The frequent adjustments of totals is how NearCast works. It does seem to me that what is showing on wfpiconsole is NearCast when WebSocket is configured (at least before the update you just got). If you switched to UDP in wfpiconsole, what you saw in both platforms would be much closer (subject to …

Just to clarify, nothing has been changed within wfpiconsole with respect to how it displays daily rain accumulation. Within each websocket packet there is a field that contains the amount of rain that has fallen since midnight, and this is what is displayed by the console. In the past, this value …

I noticed a few days ago that it was the NearCast amounts that were being displayed by wfpiconsole when it used to be the unchanged rainfall amount. I assumed that the websocket had been changed to use NearCast values. I have my app using NearCast, so I was surprised to see the wfpiconsole match th…

HI Peter, I have done that testing (actually did it before I posted NearCast rain vs. "raw" rain in PiConsole? - #3 by wx3i09 … but, I guess I was not clear on what I thought was an/the issue). I may have seen this around the time that there were some API changes a couple of weeks back that caused …

I just saw Changes to precipitation API . So, I was not just confused … there was a change :slight_smile: .

Yep, there has been a change. Hopefully the Tempest developers can clarify what is going on
