Re: [weewx-user] Re: Lightning Data Stored in weewx.sdb

I was going to submit a pull request to fix this and realized that the Atlas driver uses "strike_count" and the rest of them use "strikes_total", so fixing the defaults would be a breaking change. I went ahead and just put the delta in my weewx.conf file to work around it. [[sensor_map]] ... at

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Lightning Data Stored in weewx.sdb

yeah I don't have an accumulator section. I just received some really bad strike count data over 3,000 strikes, I have a feeling it was due to some sort of interference on the detector, I want to create a correction that causes any strike count totals greater than a specific number be registered

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Lightning Data Stored in weewx.sdb

Ahhh an external Acurite lightning detector. That explains why your lightning data variable does not end in ".AcuriteAtlasPacket" Of note, unlike the 2nd post in this thread, my [Accumulator] setion of weewx.conf file is blank, because the Atlas lightning number is already an accuulated value.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Lightning Data Stored in weewx.sdb

I do not have the atlas detector even installed because there are too many electronics near the main station that I have false positive lightning strikes when using the atlas detector so I use the acuri

[weewx-user] Re: Lightning Data Stored in weewx.sdb

I forgot about the [SDR] section of the weewx.conf file. weewx needs to convert the lightning strike count reported by the Acurite Atlas to a lightning strike delta number. This is because the Atlas counts up lightning strikes and keeps incrementing the accumulated strike number (such as 5). When

Eric K, could you provide the chart.conf configuration for that chart and also what ended up being the correct way to add the correction in weewx.conf? Your chart is essentially what I am trying to accomplish On Tuesday, May 25, 2021 at 12:36:09 PM UTC-4 Eric K wrote: > It's working as desired

[weewx-user] Re: Lightning Data Stored in weewx.sdb

I can't explain it, it would require some detailed knowledge of how the Acurite lightning sensor behaves. For example, the Ecowitt lightning sensor reports distance when strikes are detected and that distance value persists for some time before eventually reporting 0. If you had debug logging of

Thanks for the pointer. I also had a [[Corrections]] sections under [StdCalibrate]. I just moved the lightning_distance correction to the [StdCalibrate] section. We'll see if that helps. Isn't it odd that it worked, when the lightning_distance was something other than 10? On Sunday, May

[weewx-user] Re: Lightning Data Stored in weewx.sdb

I think you might find the [[Corrections]] stanza belongs under [StdCalibrate] rather than the SDR driver. Gary On Monday, 24 May 2021 at 02:32:14 UTC+10 Eric K wrote: > Here's a relevant section of the log which shows the Acurite Atlas > lig

Here's a relevant section of the log which shows the Acurite Atlas lightning sensor sending the last distance (10) reading over and over. This is expected Acurite Atlas behavior, and the reason we have to put the "if > 0 else None" statement in our [[Corrections]] section. Referring back to th

[weewx-user] Re: Lightning Data Stored in weewx.sdb

I am seeing a weird problem with the lightning distance value, where the distance gets stuck reporting 10! I copied the [[Corrections]] scheme shown earlier in this thread. I'm pretty sure I got it right, because it works most of the time. ##
