Thanks Troy, can confirm it's in place, makes no difference:
[Accumulator]
[[lightning_strike_count]]
extractor = sum
[[lightning_distance]]
extractor = min
merger = minmax
Lightning Distance is working perfectly, after each artificial strike test
(power drill + brushless motor = fake lightning) I get the distance updated
properly, with units, my total_strikes count goes up, and I see odd entries
like: strike_count: 0.0 - but no delta value(s), I've been trying for ages,
it seems to elude me :)
Sample MQTT data flowing to the station as of now:
