☔ DIY Zigbee rain gauge

It’s not uncommon for us to get this much rain here on the east coast of Australia. My gauge tends to read a little bit lower than other gauges in the area too.

Just looking to get this built, where you solder the wires to the sensor, does it matter which way around the cables are soldered to the sensor?

No, it’s just a switch.

Just built one and used one of these door sensors off AliExpress. Its fits nicely in the case so no need to cut scape to route the cable

Lol, time to create something that measures the sun intensity then (or solar panels) and you’ll see the rain appear soon :wink:

This is great. Would love to see how you approached it in your yaml if you don’t mind sharing?

Would you mind sharing your yaml please?
