I think the problem is differences in what "today's rain" means. The ultimeter driver emits observation types rain_total and daily_rain. These are direct from the hardware, so they should match what you're seeing on the console. You can check by running weewxd directly from the command line. It will print out all values.
However, the values being sent to CWOP are observation types rain24 and dayRain. If they are not supplied by the hardware, then WeeWX calculates them from the database. So, you're looking at two different things, both, in their own way, correct. But, this makes me think that the Ultimeter driver really should be emitting rain24 and dayRain. Run weewxd directly and see what it says. -tk On Thu, Apr 30, 2020 at 9:05 PM Burt Wizeman <[email protected]> wrote: > Good Evening Tom, > > Thanks for taking a look at this.
