My Netatmo rain gauge sits in the garden doing real work, and on the dashboard it got a flat bar like everything else. So I built it a proper gauge.
It draws the garden rain gauge you actually stick in the ground, funnel and graduated tube and mounting bracket, and fills it with water from any precipitation sensor. Graduations adjust to whatever daily maximum you set. There is a collapsible 24 h chart underneath with hourly or half hourly bars, battery and signal in the corners, and four glass tints if clear does not suit your dashboard.
The part I am most pleased with is boring but useful: if the sensor you pick is not a daily total, which is most of them, the editor offers a button that builds the utility_meter for you and switches the card over to it. No more hand rolling helpers every time.
Works with mm or inches, has a visual editor, and speaks six languages. Free and MIT, obviously.
HACS custom repo for now, the store request is in the queue: https://github.com/ADNPolymerase/ha-pluviometer-card
Tested against Netatmo. If you run Ecowitt or anything else I would genuinely like to know if it behaves, that is the kind of thing I cannot test from here.
