Acurite Atlas - strike_count & strike_distance in sdr.py parser?

[mrneutron42]

The Acurite Atlas has an optional lightning sensor that can be bought and installed. When you have the lightning sensor, the Atlas transmits that lightning data in the variables: 'strike_count' and 'strike_distance' out:['{"time" : "2021-04-27 19:55:47", "model" : "Acurite-Atlas", "id" : 17, "channel" : "A", "sequence_num" : 0, "battery_ok" : 1, "message_type" : 37, "wind_avg_mi_h" : 0.000, "temperature_F" : 68.000, "humidity" : 42, "strike_count" : 3, "strike_distance" : 0, "exception" : 0, "raw_msg" : "c011650088b8aa006080"}\n', '{"time" : "2021-04-27 19:55:47", "model" : "Acurite-Atlas", "id" : 17, "channel" : "A", "sequence_num" : 1, "battery_ok" : 1, "message_type" : 37, "wind_avg_mi_h" : 0.000, "temperature_F" : 68.000, "humidity" : 42, "strike_count" : 3, "strike_distance" : 0, "exception" : 0, "raw_msg" : "c411650088b8aa006084"}\n', '{"time" : "2021-04-27 19:55:47", "model" : "Acurite-Atlas", "id" : 17, "channel" : "A", "sequence_num" : 2, "battery_ok" : 1, "message_type" : 37, "wind_avg_mi_h" : 0.000, "temperature_F" : 68.000, "humidity" : 42, "strike_count" : 3, "strike_distance" : 0, "exception" : 0, "raw_msg" : "c811650088b8aa006088"}\n']

I don't see these 2 variables in the Acurite Atlas parser section of sdr.py.

class AcuriteAtlasPacket(Packet):
    # {"time": "2019-12-14 16:56:57", "model": "Acurite-Atlas", "id": 896, "channel": "A", "sequence_num": 0, "battery_ok": 1, "message_type": 37, "wind_avg_mi_h": 5.000, "temperature_F": 40.000, "humidity": 76, "byte8": 0, "byte9": 37, "byte89": 37}

    #   38: wind_avg_mi_h, wind_dir_deg, rain_in
    #   39: wind_avg_mi_h, uv, lux

    IDENTIFIER = "Acurite-Atlas"

    @staticmethod
    def parse_json(obj):
        pkt = dict()
        pkt['usUnits'] = weewx.US
        pkt['dateTime'] = Packet.parse_time(obj.get('time'))
        pkt['model'] = obj.get('model')
        pkt['hardware_id'] = "%04x" % obj.get('id', 0)
        pkt['channel'] = obj.get('channel')
        pkt['sequence_num'] = Packet.get_int(obj, 'sequence_num')
        pkt['message_type'] = Packet.get_int(obj, 'message_type')
        if 'temperature_F' in obj:
            pkt['temperature'] = Packet.get_float(obj, 'temperature_F')
        if 'humidity' in obj:

        if 'wind_avg_mi_h' in obj:

        if 'wind_dir_deg' in obj:
            pkt['wind_dir'] = Packet.get_float(obj, 'wind_dir_deg')
        if 'rain_in' in obj:
            pkt['rain_total'] = Packet.get_float(obj, 'rain_in')
        if 'uv' in obj:
            pkt['uv'] = Packet.get_int(obj, 'uv')
        if 'lux' in obj:
            pkt['lux'] = Packet.get_int(obj, 'lux')
        pkt['battery'] = 1 if Packet.get_int(obj, 'battery_ok') == 0 else 0
        return Acurite.insert_ids(pkt, AcuriteAtlasPacket.__name__)

I see there is a pull-request to add this exact support. https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-sdr/pull/89

Is it going to get approved and merged soon? Thanks.

These lightning variables must be getting addressed somewhere else in the system, because I AM getting the lightning data from parsed variables: strike_count.0011.AcuriteAtlasPacket strike_distance.0011.AcuriteAtlasPacket

I would like this issue reopened, adding #89 worked for me, didn't before.
