Acurite Atlas HD Display Rainfall Total
« on: September 28, 2018, 09:44:25 PM »
My hd display on the main screen shows the rainfall total for the last 48 hours. I want it to show the rainfall total for today, like it shows in the manual. I cannot figure out how to change it and it does not say it in the manual.

It can't be changed. You can see the day total by pressing the 'Folder' icon on the lower bottom of the display. The rolling 48 hour rain total is the only thing I hate about the HD display!

I had a feeling. Thanks.

This is turning out to be a really bad product. D
Do they even have people into weather on their team?

Wish I had seen this. It said rainfall today when I first turned it on. Now it has some count down from 48 hours. Who uses this ?

Farmers, for one.  Rainfall amounts that reset at midnight are very annoying for their purposes.

Farmers for one? So having a rain gauge that counts backwards is something a farmer needs? Love to hear that explanation. Do you work or get paid by Acurite?

I guess the NWS is wasting its time with their rainfall maps, then.

Bye.

While nincehelser has a lot of good feedback regarding Acurite systems, there's no reason on rdelp68's part to infer that he's part of Acurite (or compensated by them).  AFAIK, there are no official Acurite spokespeople active on the forum.

Please refrain from inferring otherwise -- if you have a factual item to the contrary, then post it, but do 'argue' with facts, not innuendo.

So the Rainfall total on my Atlas display says "Last 7 Days".  While I would prefer last 24 hours, I'd settle for last 48 hours INSTEAD of Last 7 Days.

Can't figure out how to change it.  Any ideas?
