I'm not well versed on getting other pressure readings into weewx. I'm sure there is a way but might be more work for just a temp situation.
I think the distance packets should always show up, it would just show the last storm distance in the packets. Although I have a standalone lightning tower, not an atlas, so maybe the behavior is different. This site <https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=30139.0> has some information on that discussion. Assigning battery to outTempBatteryStatus should work but I haven't done this. From my understanding, acurite signal for battery is either 1 or 0.
