clay, this is typical output from the lightning detector, as returned by rtl_433: 2016-11-04 04:34:58 Acurite lightning 0x536F Ch A Msg Type 0x51: 15 C 58 % RH Strikes 50 Distance 69 - c0 53 6f 3a d1 0f b2 c5 13* 2016-11-04 04:43:14 Acurite lightning 0x536F Ch A Msg Type 0x51: 15 C 58 % RH Strikes 55 Distance 5 - c0 53 6f 3a d1 0f b7 05 58* with a SDR configuration and sensor_map like this: [SDR] driver = user.sdr cmd = rtl_433 -q -U -G -F json [[sensor_map]] windDir = wind_dir.0BFA.Acurite5n1Packet windSpeed = wind_speed.0BFA.Acurite5n1Packet outTemp = temperature.0BFA.Acurite5n1Packet outHumidity = humidity.0BFA.Acurite5n1Packet outTempBatteryStatus = battery.0BFA.Acurite5n1Packet inTemp = temperature.24A4.AcuriteTowerPacket inHumidity = humidity.24A4.AcuriteTowerPacket txBatteryStatus = battery.24A4.AcuriteTowerPacket extraTemp2 = temperature.526F.AcuriteLightningPacket extraHumid2 = humidity.526F.AcuriteLightningPacket distance = distance.526F.AcuriteLightningPacket strikes_total = strikes_total.526F.AcuriteLightningPacket [[deltas]] strikes = strikes_total the weewx-sdr driver parses lightning sensor output into packets something like this: LOOP: 2017-02-14 09:50:31 EST (1487083831) altimeter: None, appTemp: None, barometer: None, cloudbase: None, dateTime: 1487083831, dewpoint: None, distance: 15.0, extraHumid2: 35.0, extraTemp2: 55.4, heatindex: None, humidex: None, inDewpoint: None, maxSolarRad: None, rainRate: 0, strikes: 0.0, strikes_total: 61.0, usUnits: 1, windchill: None is that what you see? m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
