I could see counting strikes and being able to graph strikes vs. time such as "detected 12 strikes in the past 5 minutes".
I never saw value in the disturber stuff when I had WeatherFlow gear that had a lightning sensor. I always thought of that as just 'noise the sensor picked up', but I might be wrong there. I guess my suggestion is don't sweat "expected purpose" too much. You can make the purpose anything you want. The type of the db element kinda tells you enough to figure out what typical usage might be. Some are counting things. Some are values. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
