public class RS485RainImminentSensor
extends AbstractSensor
implements DataCaster, RmiDataCaster, WeatherCaster, WeatherJudging, CacheChangedListener, DriverDepending
```
This sensor has no retardation in case of bad weather. A representation of a d igital rain sensor. This sensor does not deliver a value like 'number of raindrops' but provides a simple yes/no decision.
This class does not extend the RS485Sensor class but is a thread-less sensor. It acts as a cache listener and is therefore more immediate in its response. Additionally, as immediate response is always intended, no retardation time in case of bad-weather events (i.e. rain) is implemented.
This sensor is based on a NuDam 6050 module. The command issued for reading digital input reads as $(Add)6, the returned string has the form !(DataOut)(DataIn)00, where the data section correspond to the two-hex character string representing the status of the appropriate I/O bits. In particular, for the weather station only the data input is used, the channel number provided in the properties points to the channel of the digital input (numbering starts with zero, as always).
On 2014, 21th Oct, 13:10 UTC, the digital measurements had been replaced by analog ones, 0.0175 corresponding roughly to digital 1.

public RS485RainImminentSensor(Map<String,String> prop)
                        throws RemoteException
```
    Constructs a new RS485 sensor. The properties are checked for the presence of the KEY_READ and the KEY_CHANNEL keys. Construction fails if these keys are not present.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - If the necessary properties are not set.
    
    NumberFormatException - If the channel number is not an int.
    
    RemoteException
- Method Detail
  - init
```
public void init()
          throws InitException
```
    Initializes the sensor. The data-generator timer is initialized and a data-event generating timer-task is assigned to it.
    
    Specified by:
    
    init in interface Initializable
    
    Overrides:
    
    init in class AbstractSensor
    
    Throws:
    
    InitException
  - registerDriver
```
public boolean registerDriver(Driver poller)
```
    Registers the serial server to this sensor. This method adds this rain sensor as a CacheChangedListener to the driver, if the driver is a PollingRS485Server and has the correct name. Note that this method returns false only if the driver handed over is not of the appropriate type, i.e. a PollingRS485Server.
    
    Specified by:
    
    registerDriver in interface DriverDepending
    
    Returns:
    
    True if registering at the driver was successful.
  - cancel
```
public void cancel()
```
    Cancels the rain sensor. This includes deregistering from the cache caster and canceling of the timer used for scheduling data events.
    
    Specified by:
    
    cancel in interface Telemetering
  - exit
```
public void exit()
```
    Exists the rain sensor. Cancels it and does a caster exit on registered listeners before calling the super method.
    
    Specified by:
    
    exit in interface ExitCleaning
    
    Overrides:
    
    exit in class AbstractSensor
  - getReading
```
public double getReading()
```
    Reads the sensor value. If no serial server was registered to this sensor or the server is not reading the sensor's input, NaN is returned. Otherwise the serial server is queried for the value of its channel, PollingRS485Server.readChannel(java.lang.String), whose return value is then fed, along with the channel number, to the retrieveValue(java.lang.String) method of the sensor. If no cache-event has been received, 1 for bad weather is returned.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getReading in interface Telemetering
    
    Returns:
    
    0/1 for no rain/rain.

    getMinClearUpTime in interface WeatherJudging
  - getSensorInitInfo
```
public String getSensorInitInfo()
```
    Returns a string description of the sensor. The name is returned plus the serial server it listens to. The key properties of the switching behaviour, i.e. the toggling instance is reported, too.
