Rain Event - Conditions to reset

Hi all, when it starts to rain, we receive the evt_precip message. What are the conditions before another evt_precip message will be generated?

I noticed during a recent rain shower, I received the message as expected, but then I had several obs_sky messages where the rain accumulated (index 3) was 0.0 / precipitation type was none. When the rain started again a couple of minutes later, no evt_precip was sent.

I presume this is to stop spamming messages/notifications, and that there is some timeout, i.e. rain accumulated = 0 for x minutes or something?

I believe that the timeout is 30 minutes, but don’t quote me on that…

Thanks @vreihen, I’ll go with that unless anyone else chips in :+1:
