Utilizing a tipping bucket sensor, your Vera home automation controller and the I'll take a whack at updating if you like. So unless you get enough water to fall down and tip it, it won't likely record less than say 1mm of but I have that running at my 'other' house and it is on older version of MySensors (haven't upgraded there yet The other consideration is offsetting the mass of the magnet, which is small but dense. I'll have to apply something to the funnel to lower the surface tension of the droplets, I think. I wonder if I can make a funnel that will actually drop the water to the bottom if we only received 0.5mm of rain. I see your point regarding precision but you can easily go smaller. I believe for me that's OK, particularly here i s SoFla where we get a lot of rain. So considering that there are 16.38ml per cubic inch, that gets us to approx 50 tips per inch of rain or 0.02in (0.5mm) resolution. There are 25 cubic inches of water per inch of rain in an 8in gauge. I can tweak it by raising/lowing the allen cap screws. I designed it to about 8ml, I have to calibrate it because of the meniscus, which looks substantial.

Great job though! Keep up the great work. Would it be good to make the buckets(?) a little smaller so it would be more precise? Keep in mind I have no idea how big it is or how these things work in general so I could be way off with the question. How much rain water does it take to tip? From the video it seems like it would need quite a bit to tip. I was also thinking it would be useful to use VeraAlerts to announce if a window is open and it's raining. I would like a rain meter so I know when and how often I need to irrigate. I live in Colorado and we also have very localized rain. You beat me to it again (and I'm ok with that) This is awesome! I was also wanting to do this.
