Hello, can I also connect a rain sensor to ESP 8266? Now I have SDS011 and BME280 connected ---

Hi, Not with the current master version of the sensor. There is no rain sensor in it and the database is not configured to receive such data. We will soon put a ESP32 version of the firmware wich can be extended more easily. What is the reference of the rain sensor ? ---

But it is a electric rain sensor by contact. What is the purpose for the comnunity ? Someone for opinions ? ---

This rain sensor is very bad. Prone to corrosion and very inaccurate in measuring the amount of rain. When the rain has stopped, the sensor remains wet for a while and still “detects” rain. ---

Thanks for the answer, what sensor would you recommend to work with soon? ---

I am not into rain sensing so i can’t really reccomend a rain sensor. In general the “tipping basket” type is more relaible. But there are also optical versions. Not cheap though… ---
