Hello,
Thank you for the patched interceptor driver - I just got a WH57 for my
GW1000 and am trying to get the observations added to the WeeWX DB. With
the patched driver, the lightning observations are showing in my raw
packets:
weewx[29068] DEBUG user.interceptor: raw packet: {'wind_speed': 0.0,
'humidity_in': 44.0, 'temperature_in': 69.4, 'solar_radiation': 0.0,
'wind_gust': 1.12, 'wh65_battery': 0.0, 'lightning': '', 'humidity_out':
81.0, 'uv': 0.0, 'lightning_num': 0.0, 'rain': 0.0, 'dateTime': 1592366447,
'pressure': 30.076, 'temperature_out': 68.0, 'wind_dir': 314.0,
'wh57_battery': 5.0, 'rain_total': 0.0, 'lightning_time': '', 'rain_rate':
0.0, 'usUnits': 1}
I'm using WeeWX 4.1.0, so it's my understanding that the DB already has
types for lightning_strike_count and lightning_distance, but when I map the
'lightning' observation tho the lightning_distance type, like so
[[sensor_map_extensions]]
lightning_strike_count = lightning_num
lightning_distance = lightning
then WeeWX shuts down after receiving one of the packets:

Exiting.
This doesn't happen if I map lightning_strike_count = lightning_num only,
just when I add in lightning_distance = lightning
Does anyone have any recommendations for addressing this?
Thank you,
Trey
