It doesn't rain much in the Los Angeles area so when it does it's a big
deal. I've gotten about 1/3" of rain in the last 6 hours which I can
see in the oww debug message which comes out once a minute as well as in
the RRD graphs but when I look at the wunderground google map for my
zipcode and set the display type to precipitation, it says N/A for the
amount of rain. I'm pretty sure the last time it rained I got something
or at least 0.0 after it had stopped.

According to the summary table on the right , it says "- in". But if
you check my history, its says I've gotten 0.28in for the day but in the
hourly rainfall rate in the tabular section shows all zeros.

Looking at my oww debug log, here's a recent post:

what's the value for rainin? Is it inches per minute or hour or what?
Where is the wunderground update script parameters documented?
So why the discrepancy? I thought maybe the battery in my AAG rain
counter had died but oww is showing the cumulative amount going up and
both the oww and oww_client gui's are showing what I'd expect.
oh, my rain gauge is configured as follows:
devices:
rain 22000000046C921D 0.010000
setupNG:
raindaily 0
rainhour 0
raindate 1
rainday 0
rainbackreset 1
