Thanks Benedict! Lots of valuable info there. Looks to me like these are then output from the Tempest, or at least as they come from WeatherFlow's api directly from their servers:
brightness":60272," lightning_strike_last_epoch":1629633834," lightning_strike_last_distance":41," lightning_strike_count":0," lightning_strike_count_last_1hr":0," lightning_strike_count_last_3hr":0," and even more values that normally do not appear from the UDP broadcast from the Tempest on my LAN, so that's interesting stuff. If the "illuminance" value is actually called "brightness", this explains why I only got errors from it thus far. Means the weatherflowudp.py driver-file is incorrect. I'll have to check what the tempest transmits on the LAN locally to be sure. Is there someone that has already done that work for us? Thanks in advance!
