Very useful in addition to the weather station "netatmo" I tested well in July (one of the wettest since 1959). Beware the rain gauge is delivered without any attachment, so your friends DIY tools and documentation level, it is very light. For start-up, after removing the plastic tab batteries, the gauge was not recognized by the station despite the strict application of starting instructions, I had reopen, removing the batteries and put them back to that it is "discoverable" by the weather station.
