Rain Gauge upgrades compatible with Davis?
« on: August 25, 2018, 08:51:18 AM »
Does anyone know of any of the Ultrasonic or Doppler Rain gauges that are compatible with the Davis ISS?

Based on the specs, I’m not sure if it’s an upgrade, but Hongyuv has a radar detected precip sensor. I believe Stefan has said they could make it work for the VP2. I just received my ultrasonic anemometer from them yesterday although it’ll take me a little while to get it up and installed.

I would personally like to find a compatible 8” weighing all-ptype gauge.

Yeah I read your thread with great interest - on SI's website, someone had said the other model that was available (forgot who makes it) has a problem with showing 100MPH winds after a rain event, though it works fine in dry weather. Let me know how yours goes please!

I'll shoot him an email too.
