Bingo, fixed by installing v2.1.0-RC MQTTSubscribeDriver. Adding collect_observations = True and single_queue = True to [[topics], I get desired behavior. Null lightning distance is recorded in absence of strikes and with an test simulated lightning strike by battery charger shorting, I get

Yes I added accumulator set at end of weewx.conf and still get the same result , lightning_distance = 12 for all recorded intervals Here is my output running weewxd directly, I see three lines which show lightning_distance to be None, which is expected from corrections, but the following three

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, unfortunately your suggestion did not fix the persisting 12mile lightning_distance output. I tried the following 4 corrections one at a time in weewx.conf: [[Corrections]] lightning_distance = lightning_distance if lightning_strike_count > 0 el

I several questions about data and graphing of AcuRite 06045M lightning detector. I am using "rtl_433" and "rtl_4233 mqtt auto discover" addons in home assistant to aquire data from AcuRite 06045M and MQTTSubscribeDriver to import data into weewx. Weewx is installed on raspberry pi.I have
