    I have the Ecowitt WS90 with a gw2000 hub which has been solid since I installed it Mid July of this year:

    Displays Daily Rainfall, Rain Rait Per hours, Week to date Totals, Rain State and the totals so far.

    This is from Home Assistant and (Yes it says the rain state is WET It's either that or dry, a very binary state on the sensor) I live in the PNW where it mostly rains this time of year so the totals are pretty accurate. It uses a Rain Piezo which works by converting the mechanical vibrations caused by raindrops hitting its surface into electrical signals. This process allows the sensor to detect rainfall. I've been toying with the idea of getting a manual rain gauge to confirm the totals, but I'm happy with it so far though!

    I also have an ecowitt weather station, bought a separate GW1000 receiver which feeds into weewx (completely local) and home assistant. You can also add in up to 8 extra temp and humidity sensors so I have some of those in different rooms and the green house.

    The rain measurement is a tipping seesaw type so strong winds can sometimes cause inaccurate results

    I have a weather flow tempest. Expensive and my first one died after a few years but it works well and gives you cumulative rain readings through its native ha integration.

  • Im using a Bresser 7 in 1 with this. But I don't know how accurate the rain gauge is.
