What values can Precipitation have in Weather? I have seen zero and one. Can it have any others?

Thanks,
Mike D.

That's probably the value of precipitation measured in inches. It's given to me by the weather API and they don't specify the units. Mine currently reads 0.2 as the precip value, so it does appear to vary somewhat.

Is there a way to tell whether it's raining or not? I wanted to activate a scene based on whether it started/stopped raining (or snowing).

Thanks,

In theory, the CurrentPrecip value should tell you. If it's > 0, then it's "precipitating."
