I got my replacement ATLAS sensor and it did not record any false lightening for the past 48 hours of hot climate. Thanks to Victoria for initiating replacement sensor to my location (India).
Jumped into conclusion too early. Now the false lightening in sunny days are stopped but numerous increment when it rains without lightening actually.. Seriously lightening detector is complete failure. Today 70 counts when it was raining without single thunder/lightening.
And two different rainfall reading in my 2 atlas device with factory default rainfall settings . Anyone tested the lightening issue repaired device when there is rain?
Mine works great when it rains.
If you're having rain, how do you know there isn't any lightning activity nearby? You won't necessarily see lightning or hear thunder in many cases, particularly if it is distant.
At my Texas location I have 3 different AS3935 based systems. I also have lighting alerts from a local TV station. Other than my WeatherFlow AIR, they have all been very consistent with lightning detection.
WeatherFlow recently replaced my AIR. The strike count seems low compared to my other systems, but it is at least picking up thunderstorm activity now.
