Smart rain sensor

[curious aardvark]

how are you transmitting the information to - phone/computer ?
And does it measure actual amount of rainfall ?

If not, why is it better than looking out a window to see if it's raining ? ;-)

It just alerts you if there is rain, so that you can make additional actions - close windows etc. It is Zigbee protocol, so you can use it as a part of your smart home.
