Is there a way to setup a rain alarm within WL? Say if todays rain is greater than zero? And will the console stop beeping (alarm) after a certain time? I have text notifications setup within WL2.0
Curious if this can be done. I would like to know when it starts to rain. Other ideas within WL? Thanks
-
I take that as can not be done through WL. I setup MB to send email when rain rate is >0 and clear =0. Have to see how that works.
-
Can you share the code you used for the MB? Both the Raise: and Clear: lines. Thanks.
Or is it just?...
Raise: [RainRateCur] > 0
Clear: [RainRateCur] == 0
UPDATE - This code is wrong, see Mchd17's next response
If your MB is licensed for Ambientweather.net you can create alarms called Alerts there too.
-
raise: [rain0rate-act.0:0] > 0
clear: [rain0rate-act.0:0] == 0
Has not tripped the alarm yet though, no rain. I have one setup with Ambient Weather. If the MB alarm works good, that's what I will use \:D/
-
#-o Oh okay my bad... I realize now I used my SQL variables instead of the MB variables....Thanks
-
I just setup the following for the email subject and body:
Subj # Body: Rain has begun # Rain Rate: [rain0rate-act=in.2] in/hr
-
Next rainfall....post back alarm results :lol:
-
Just started raining. It works.
----Email Received -----
Subj: Rain has begun
Body: Rain Rate: 0.07 in/hr
-
\:D/ :-)

Not so fast. This is not good. Getting too many notifications.
I'm now testing with Raise check to use this variable instead:
[rain0total-sum60=in.2]
So I now have:
Raise: [rain0total-sum60=in.2] > 0
Clear: [rain0total-sum60=in.2] == 0
Then I'll only be notified on the beginning of every rain event, defined as rain starting to fall separated by more than 60 minutes of no rain.

good idea, let us know how that works
Might be a good idea to start a thread in the MB forum hosted here. More MB users will be there

FWIW, you CAN do this via Weatherlink.
