There is an extension <https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-as3935> available created by Matthew Wall and reading the AS3935 lightning detector circuit. It sets 2 observation types: - avg_distance - lightning_strikes In contrary to that, the wview_extended schema as well as units.py in WeeWX define other observation types for the same purpose: - lightning_distance - lightning_strike_count Why they are different? because i am stupid. i wrote the AS3935 code rather quickly, so i could compare that sensor with some other lightning detection equipment we were experimenting with. only later did we create the wview_extended schema, and the intent there was to extend the schema with labels and structure that were general enough to accommodate a wide range of hardware. i should probably modify the AS3935 code to use the wview extended schema names... I found no assignment of a unit group to the observation types used by Matthew Wall's extension. Is that intended? it is lazy coding on my part, not intentional. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
