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?
