I think the main difference is that the Ecowitt consoles can only be
polled, or configured to push data a defined interval. As far as I know,
there is no such event mechanism from the console to other devices,
messages queues, whatever. But I'd be very happy, if someone would prove me
wrong.

To me the most likely explanation is that the display displays lightning
hits in realtime as events, and also includes aggregated lightning (over
that observation period) when it periodically reports all data from all
sensors.
This sounds like it is the same as the Tempest which reports lightni
Rainer, the WH57 sends lightning data as the lighning is detected, the
console shows this data immediately.
I observed this mutliple times:
You see the lightning out there, the LED of the WH57 flashes red, the
counter on the console goes up, the distance is also updated. If there is a

So for the WH57, any further calculations are pointless.
The referenced PR is for a Tempest, as far as I know, the Tempest reports
every singly lightning detection as an event immediately, as an addition to
the packet containing all the values every minute.

The issue is not whether the driver is 'dumb' or what the console does nor
over what period. The fact of the matter is that WH57 only provides the
distance of the last detected strike, not the average, not the sum nor any
other aggregate. That distance has no relationship whatsoever with any

Hi Gary,
I think you know that by saying that your driver were "dump" I didn't
want to discredit your work. 😉 - Just that the work is done by the
console (or earlier in the chain).
The WH57 provides only the number of strikes since the last reporting
including the distance of that last strik
