Tipping Bucket Raingage

Overview

This project implements a tipping bucket rain gauge using an ESP32 DevKit V1 and ESPHome. Each bucket tip represents 0.01 inches of rainfall. The device counts tips, calculates cumulative rainfall, allows manual reset/set from Home Assistant, and exposes data for both short-term rolling totals and calendar-based summaries. Open-source project by JP Johnny, published on GitHub.
