steve,
you don't need a second database - that is an optional feature of the
as3935 extension.
the reason your second database is not working is because of how you
defined it. in your weewx.conf, this:
[[lightning_sqlite]]
root = %(WEEWX_ROOT)s
database_name = archive/lightning.sdb
driver = weedb.sqlite
is incorrect - that is how databases were specified in weewx 2. you want
this:
[[lightning_sqlite]]
database_type = SQLite
database_name = lightning.sdb
but you should walk before you run.
remove the data_binding = lightning_binding from the [AS3935] section so
that lightning data are saved only to the wx database.
run weewx directly to be sure that lightning data are actually being
captured.
sudo weewxd /etc/weewx/weewx.conf
you should see LOOP data with the lightning fields.
then make sure the data are getting into your wx database:
sqlite3 /var/lib/weewx.sdb
sqlite> select dateTime, avg_distance, lightning_strikes from archive;
note that the two fields are avg_distance and lightning_strikes. you need
to modify your schema, since you are using lightning and lightning_strikes.
you can also eliminate the lightning references in your extensions.py.
after all of that is working properly, add the lightning data (avg_distance
and lightning_strikes) to your reports.
the separate lightning database records the distance to and time of each
strike. it has its own schema and is completely independent of the weewx
wx database.
