Netatmo Rain Gauge - Incorrect Measurement

Post by zielwolf »

I bought the rain gauge about 6 weeks ago. it worked well the first few weeks, but now its measurements are totally off. Yesterday 6-7mm of rain fell, but it only measured 0.8mm. I have calibrated the tippers in the app to measure correctly. I've also tried resetting the device.

I actually wonder if the electronics have been damaged by exposure. I'm in Melbourne Australia and we have wildly fluctuating weather in summer. On Saturday it was 38 deg, Sunday 19 deg, Monday 27 deg Tuesday 39 deg, Wednesday 17 deg, today 19 deg. I look at the rain gauge sitting in the midday sun in its jet black enclosure on a 40 degree day and frankly wonder if it's even built to survive such harsh conditions. Could this be the problem - that the electronics have malfunctioned due to the heat?
