I have installed an RG-11 rain sensor on my Weather Radio weather station (using mode 1, rain detection) and I am not sure which mode (0 or 1) is the best for rain detection, as the "Event count" in the indi Weather Radio driver doesn't relate to the rainfall intensity or duration. In other words, in mode 1 "Event count" gets incremented when it rains but I don't see a rain warning or danger being flagged, and the count does not reset to 0 when the rain has stopped for some time.

Would mode 0, tipping bucket, be more appropriate to indicate a warning or danger, so that my observatory could park and shut itself down?

Thanks for any enlightenment.
