As far as I recall, the CloudWatcher has been able to differentiate between dew and rain in every case.
There may be a bit of trial-and-error involved if none of the alternative combinations work, but it's not too onerous.

One last issue is that the onboard internal temp sensor isn't supposed to be used as a guide to ambient air temperature, as it's fully exposed to sunlight. (Unless you've mounted the CW in the shade.)
