In 2021, got my first Acurite Atlas, with lightning detector installed.
After getting some help configuring the sdr sensor map, it works great with an SDR receiver and reports lightning to weewx and the data gets into the database, and graphed.
I then got a 2nd Acurite Atlas (with lightning detector) for my lake cabin.
I have version "0.78" of weewx-sdr installed into weewx 4.5.1.
The wx data is getting into weewx properly, but the lightning data is not.
I copied the same format from my home Atlas setup so I'm not sure why it's not passing the lightning data.
I checked the database with the DB Browser for SQLite and the data is not going into the database columns for lightning_strike_count and lightning_distance.
I ran this command and watched for lightning data.
sudo PYTHONPATH=/home/weewx/bin python3 /home/weewx/bin/user/sdr.py --cmd="rtl_433 -R 40 -M utc -F json"
I see "strike_distance" and "lightning_count" appearing in the output.
I'm not sure what to put in my sensor map.
I think the Acurite-Tower data may be a neighbor's weather sensor?
I updated the weewx-sdr driver from version 78 to version 86 and then I started getting lightning data to the graph!
I guess some Acurite Atlas lightning module support was added between 78 and 86?
