Kenny, Did you ever get this worked out? I am seeing the exact same issues you are. I added lightning to my belchertown skin for station observations and I am seeing the 0.00000 for it until MQTT updates (but I get an undefined sometinmes). Trying to figure out how to not display the 0.00000 and just show the number.
