All those elements are available if you choose to use them. But they're not mandatory. You can use them, or ignore them, or use the available fiels in the db for other uses (count every time your nest doorbell triggers and call it a disturber event :-) > I'm assuming weewx updates the strike count based on the new lightning > record.

It's all up to the software developer who writes the extension or service or driver or however you chose to read the sensor's available measurements and get them into the db. After that weewx can handle the graphing and db querying etc. kind of heavy lifting for you, but you kinda have to do the low-level stuff to get the sensor info into the db. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
