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&recipient=d2Vld3gtdXNlckBnb29nbGVncm91cHMuY29t), Lightning Strikes show as "0.000000" 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 On Mar 29 2020, at 1:31 am, Andrew Milner <andrew.s.r.mil...@gmail.com> wrote: > How did you tell it to display the delta value? > > Did you stop/restart weewx after editing weewx.conf to put in the delta? > > > > On Sunday, 29 March 2020 07:44:01 UTC+3, Kenny Stier wrote: > > The sensor appears to be sending sane data. > > https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/PX9mfmkjBg/ > > (https://link.getmailspring.com/link/1a2109ad-9a99-4f95-b6e4-528a21d8c...@getmailspring.com/1?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fpastebin.ubuntu.com%2Fp%2FPX9mfmkjBg%2F&recipient=d2Vld3gtdXNlckBnb29nbGVncm91cHMuY29t) > > https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/8hTzx3ypNH/ > > (https://link.getmailspring.com/link/1a2109ad-9a99-4f95-b6e4-528a21d8c...@getmailspring.com/2?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fpastebin.ubuntu.com%2Fp%2F8hTzx3ypNH%2F&recipient=d2Vld3gtdXNlckBnb29nbGVncm91cHMuY29t) > > > > For some reason the site says Lightning Strikes 62 even though I told it to > > display the delta value lightning_strikes and not lightning_strikes_total > > > > On Tuesday, March 3, 2020 at 6:35:17 PM UTC-5, mwall wrote: > > > > > > > > > On Sunday, March 1, 2020 at 7:17:01 PM UTC-5, Kenny Stier wrote: > > > > I am working on including my lightning detector data on my homepage but > > > > am having some issues. > > > > I am using an Acurite 06045M over SDR on Belchertown. > > > > https://wx.millhousen.com/ > > > > (https://link.getmailspring.com/link/1a2109ad-9a99-4f95-b6e4-528a21d8c...@getmailspring.com/3?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwx.millhousen.com%2F&recipient=d2Vld3gtdXNlckBnb29nbGVncm91cHMuY29t) > > > > > > > > 1.
