[IaLeo]

Any one have experience with a battery-powered self-dumping rain gauge? Any recommendations?

Not cheap but good. I have one at my farm connected to the internet and love it. Very accurate and reliable . You can add on sensors for monitoring indoor temperature, leak detection etc.

rain gauge.

If you want quality and reliability, go with Davis Instruments. 10x cost, 100x quality and service life.

We have had Acurite and they don't last very long. Trying a Ambient Weather brand now. Its about a month old and so far so good. They have a nice app allowing me to see what is happening at the house when I'm away. Other Ambient owners can make their data public so you can see different areas, I have heard very good things about Davis but never had one. For just rain measurements its hard to beat a simple tube. We still have one on the back deck.
