matt, I understand the service a bit better. I tried setting weewx.conf to make the separate database, which worked. I have reset it to save to the weewx database now. I checked the lightning database and saw a couple "strikes", but they didn't show up in the weewx database. I am pretty sure they weren't real strikes anyway. I have increased the noise floor to hopefully eliminate these false hits. I am also comparing it to the Hobby boards detector. So far there isn't much correlation. The purpose for both detectors is so I know when to disconnect my HF antennas. I can't understand why I get the (errno5) when testing with a lighter. Perhaps I need to find a better way to test it. It may just overwhelm the chip, lightning wouldn't emit energy so close. We haven't had much lightning here this year, I may have to wait until next year to verify correct operation.
I still would like to know why the values in the database and webpage don't agree, for instance the web page reports 1 mile and the database .62 for the same sample. I think weewx is saying 1 mile but means 1 km, even though it is set to US units.
