All - I've almost got the lightning sensor in my Atlas reporting correctly
in weewx, and I am hoping someone can get me over the threshold.
I am using a very recent build of rtl-433, the latest sdr, and weewx 4.8.0.
By apparent design, the Atlas reports the same value for lightning strikes
at each reporting interval, when no additional strikes occur:

In this case, the number of strikes is 243. Rather than report 243 strikes,
however, weewx is reporting 11907 strikes:

Here is my sensor map:
* [[sensor_map]] windDir = wind_dir.011D.AcuriteAtlasPacket
windSpeed = wind_speed.011D.AcuriteAtlasPacket outTemp =
temperature.011D.AcuriteAtlasPacket outHumidity =
humidity.011D.AcuriteAtlasPacket rain_total =
rain_total.011D.AcuriteAtlasPacket outTempBatteryStatus =
battery.011D.AcuriteAtlasPacket radiation =
lux.011D.AcuriteAtlasPacket UV = uv.011D.AcuriteAtlasPacket
lightning_distance = strike_distance.011D.AcuriteAtlasPacket
lightning_strike_count = strike_count.011D.AcuriteAtlasPacket
exception = exception.011D.AcuriteAtlasPacket inTemp =
temperature.121.FOWH25BPacket inHumidity =
humidity.121.FOWH25BPacket pressure = pressure.121.FOWH25BPacket
inTempBatteryStatus = battery.121.FOWH25BPacket [[deltas]]
rain = rain_total lightning_strike_count = strikes_total*
...
*[StdCalibrate] [[Corrections]] # For each type, an arbitrary
calibration expression can be given. # It should be in the units
defined in the StdConvert section. # Example: foo = foo +
0.2 lightning_distance = lightning_distance if
lightning_strike_count > 0 else None*
If I comment out lightning_strike_count under [[deltas]], then the number
of strikes goes up by 243 after each reporting interval. Got it. Don't do
that.
I have messed with this on and off for a while now, and I wonder if I've
got old, garbage data in the dB that is skewing the value.
Thoughts?
