Are there any good and affordable ZigBee rain sensors? I’ve mostly seen amateur projects online. Thanks
What is it that you want to know about the rain? Tipping buckets are fine for measuring amounts of rain over the day, but too slow to respond to if you want to protect e.g. an awning from rain.
Other sensors are available that react very quickly to the first drops, but do not know about the rain amount. Those are often slow to detect that it is dry.
The ones that do all well are very expensive.
I don’t care about the quantity, knowing that it’s raining is enough for me to close the windows
I do not think you will find many zigbee pre built ones, so this is likely why you see mostly diy things. You could buy a cheap door sensor and wire a sensor like this to the place where the reed contact is that responds to the magnet. That isn’t hard.
