Good spot! Unfortunately the PiConsole doesn’t yet have a method to update the rainfall totals after Raincheck has been applied. This is definitely on the list of updates though - I just need to work out the best way to do it, as there is no fixed time that Raincheck is applied.
That’s what I was thinking.
On second thought let’s keep rain check away from the pi console, the raw data has been way more accurate than the totals I am getting after rain check.

with out a keyboard connected how do I exit out of WFPieconsole to run the update, and how can I just the update with keyboarder connected to the console?any delp would be apprenticed
Your best bet is to access the Pi remotely from another computer. For this you have two options. Either VNC (Raspberry Pi Documentation - Remote access) or SSH (Raspberry Pi Documentation - Remote access). Once you have setup the remote access you can open a terminal and use the command wfpiconsole stop to stop the console. Update with wfpiconsole update, and then restart yh console with wfpiconsole start. Hope this helps!

exactly what I was looking for. Thanks
only issue I have now is the auto start does not seem to work, if the RPi reboots WFconsole does not automatically start. I have to run the start command everytime
Great! Glad to hear you found what you needed. Use the command wfpiconsole autostart-enable instead of wfpiconsole start if you want to use the autostart features. There are more details here: https://github.com/peted-davis/WeatherFlow_PiConsole/blob/master/README.md#auto-start-instructions
Yeah I did that but when I reset my RPi to test it the console did not automatically start. Ones I retyped the autostart command it started again.
My RPi locked up and I couldn’t get it to exit gracefully. No response to the screen or keyboard and I couldn’t telnet in so had to cut the power. Now PiConsole will not start. I tried doing an update (only 1 package was updated) and even tried to reinstall. It just stalls here. Any ideas?
SD card isn’t full or corrupt ?
finally upgrading pi s. going from pi1 to pi3 anything besides my config I should back up?
The card is not full. Trying to figure out the best way to see if it’s corrupt.
Have you tried rebooting? I find this sometimes fixes odd graphics issues.
It looks like the console is running correctly (as in it is not crashing when it is loading), so you might just have to wipe the SD card and start again if rebooting doesn’t work.
Nope you should only need your config file. Change the Hardware key to Pi3, however.

Did the computer boot ?
Can you ssh in ? Does it respond ?
Is your ‘/’ partition perhaps mounted read-only ?
Does dmesg show card problems ?
You might need to schlep out a monitor+keyboard and see if you can boot it and at least verify that the console starts on the monitor.
The RPi reboots fine. Just when I start wfpiconsole that it hangs.
The RPi reboots fine. I can ssh in. Just when I start wfpiconsole that it hangs. I do most of the work on it with a keyboard and have the Pi monitor.
Weird! I’m not sure what to suggest I’m afraid. From the screenshot you sent it looks like the console is working correctly (i.e. it’s not crashing with a Python error or something related to the websocket), but the graphics are not loading correctly (which are controlled by the Python libraries and beyond my level of expertise). Do you have a lot running on the same Pi? If not a reinstall of Rasbian would probably fix everything.
