Atlas Lightning Data Not Showing

[wxwatching]

So, I had a storm come through the area and MyAcurite shows 8 strikes today with last one at 9:36 PM EDT at 1 mile. I don't see anything regarding strike data in the web display for Weewx.

I have the model 06075M lightning detector installed in my Atlas:

https://www.acurite.com/shop-all/weather-instruments/weather-sensors-and-parts/accessories/atlas-lightning-detection-sensor.html?ref=name

I am using the sdr.py to retrieve the data from my Atlas.

[SDR]
    # This section is for the software-defined radio driver.

    # The driver to use
    driver = user.sdr
    path = /usr/local/bin

    [[sensor_map]]
        outTempBatteryStatus = battery.0222.AcuriteAtlasPacket
        outTemp = temperature.0222.AcuriteAtlasPacket
        outHumidity = humidity.0222.AcuriteAtlasPacket
        windSpeed = wind_speed.0222.AcuriteAtlasPacket
        windDir = wind_dir.0222.AcuriteAtlasPacket
        UV = uv.0222.AcuriteAtlasPacket
        rain_total = rain_total.0222.AcuriteAtlasPacket
        radiation = lux.0222.AcuriteAtlasPacket
        strikes_total = strike_count.0222.AcuriteAtlasPacket
        strike_distance = strike_distance.0222.AcuriteAtlasPacket
        lux = lux.0222.AcuriteAtlasPacket
        log_unknown_sensors = True
        log_unmapped_sensors = True

    [[deltas]]
        rain = rain_total
        Lightning_Strikes = strikes_total

Here's a bit of the syslog output:

So, how can I properly get the lightning data via sdr.py and that displayed in Weewx html output?

[Graham Eddy]

looks like lightning count and distance are in the weewx packet, so presumably it is ‘in the weewx system'.

what skin are you using, and how does it display those values?

Using default skin, and I don't see any values regarding lightning.

[Graham Eddy]

look in weewx.conf to see which skin is enabled. if you are running weewx 4.1.1 (i didn’t see version stated) then likely this is Seasons skin, and you will need to hear back from Seasons skin folk on whether it auto-configures to pick up lightning values (i think there has been recent work on this but i don't think it has hit release yet)

The Seasons skin does not include lightning data by default. You would have to add it to both the skin, and if you are not using the wview_extended schema, to the database schema.
