Just wanted to share this tip because I think it can be useful so therefor creating a new topic.
From the topic of a DIY rain gauge, I bumped on this interesting device: a rain sensor with solar panel that seems to do a good job.
Link to a review: https://smarthomescene.com/reviews/tuya-zigbee-solar-rain-sensor-rb-srain01-review/
Notice that it can distinguish the rain intensity which might give an idea about the quantity.
Interesting device.
I bought one to test.
Yes, it definitely is!
It’s amazing that they put in 2 sensors, a solar panel, a rechargeable battery, a communication module, that bracket and screws for that kind of money and on top it seems to work well! 
Would be nice to read your findings.
So, did you receive it already and have you seen this: Rain/Solar ZigBee Sensor not working as expected... loosing connection
Nope…
It’s still on a donkey on route to a raft and then it’s just a few months more.
I got it a few days ago, no rain yet but it seems to work fine.
I have the custom quirk for ZHA so I only get wet/dry and battery.
I will see if I csn get the intensity working in ZHA. But I doubt it’s useful.
Rain or more rain is still rain.
I just need to know if there is on not
I keep having issues with it becoming unavailable.
I don’t know if it is due to range but it shouldn’t be.
But I will try and place it indoors for a few days and see if it still disconnects.
The real issue is that the pairing button is on the bottom behind the mount.
So every time it disconnects I need to remove it from the mount, press the button and mount it again.
Since this is an outdoor sensor and I don’t live on the ground floor, it all becomes a bit problematic.
hello,
just received mine on monday and work great…until i put to far from the nearest router (led bulb).
I put it on a wall 4 meters from a window where there is a zigbee led bulb. Need to put just in front of the window, if not just in front of the window, signal is lost like your example above.
I think mine is about 2.5 m from the closest router. But through a wall.
Not really sure what to do then if the range is this poor.
have you paired it at the exact same place?
because i have paired it first in the middle of my house, and i had some trouble when moved it.
Then i deleted it from z2M and repair at the end place, outdoor.
my wall is 20cm of concrete and 4m away from the window it doesnt work…
