Lightning counts on Saratoga template Alt dashboard
« on: December 19, 2022, 10:14:41 AM »
Hi guys, I finally moved the Boltek to the main weather computer and am setting it up to show the lightning count on the dashboard. It will show the total strikes, but not the minute, 30 minute, 60 minute, or 12 hour strikes. Is there a setting that I am overlooking?
Thank you for any help. :)

AFAIK, the counts are all from testtags.php and generated by Weather-Display.  I don't know of additional settings to enable.

testtags template has
Code: [Select]
$lighteningbearing = '%nexstormbearing%';
$lighteningdistance = '%nexstormdistance%';
$lighteningcountlasthournextstorm = '%lighteningcountlasthournextstorm%';
$lighteningcountlastminutenextstorm = '%lighteningcountlastminutenextstorm%';
$lighteningcountlast12hournextstorm = '%lighteningcountlast12hournextstorm%';
$lighteningcountlast30minutesnextstorm = '%lighteningcountlast30minutesnextstorm%';

Hmmmm… the test tags are there. I wonder if Weather-Display changed something or maybe NexStorm?
I’ll try reaching out to them.
Thank you!

Would you happen to know if those counts only happen within a certain radius?
Now it shows that the last 12 hours I’ve gotten 12 strikes, but shows 3,800 total “to date” strikes.
