Re: [weewx-user] Re: Lightning Detector shows bad data

2020-06-04 Thread Sean Ostermann 
Kenny,

Did you ever get this worked out?  I am seeing the exact same issues you 
are.  I added lightning to my belchertown skin for station observations and 
I am seeing the 0.0 for it until MQTT updates (but I get an undefined 
sometinmes).  Trying to figure out how to not display the 0.0 and just 
show the number.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Lightning Detector shows bad data

My [SDR] config where I defined the delta is in my original message, and I have 
restarted since putting it in.
My Belchertown skin.conf is where I configured Belchertown to display the 
number of lightning strikes. (in first message as well)

On my site https://wx.millhousen.com/ 
(https://link.getmailspring.com/link/1a2109ad-9a99-4f95-b6e4-528a21d8c...@getmailspring.com/0?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwx.millhousen.com%2F=d2Vld3gtdXNlckBnb29nbGVncm91cHMuY29t),
 Lightning Strikes show as "0.00" until MQTT provides an update and changes 
it to 62 (which should be lightning_strikes_total).
The rtl433 output I posted earlier was during a thunderstorm, as are these 
entries in the weewx.sdb
