I am trying to bring the rain volume sensor, tipping bucket, on-line.

The sensor sends a "1" on every incident. Each "1" represents 2 ml.

For the eGeoffrey sensor I selected automatic aggregation "sum".

I have been playing around but presentation of the data was not satisfactory.

Which widget is suitable to display this kind of summarised data?

Your advice please.

The way sum is implemented is not perfect for your approach I think. It would work as expected if you have the device sending out a single value every hour which is already the sum of the rain of the current/last hour. Since "sum" will sum for every hour the calculated averages of the values (with a "history" retention policy), you will get wrong calculations. Definitely something to be improved (egeoffrey/egeoffrey-controller#23). Any chance until will be fixed (not the simplest one honestly) you can have your device doing the job of summing up and sending a single value every hour? Thanks
