WH57 Ecowitt lightning distance

Post by wsnoordbergum »

I'm using a Ecowitt GW2000 as a second station on my meteobridge and this is working well.
One thing that might be improved is the lightning distance, meteobridge keeps the last recorded distance in the tag so in my graphs I keep the last recorded distance
It would be nice to have the lightning distance reset to 0 if there is no recorded lightning for a given amount of time
Is this possible or is it the data that Ecowitt gateway provides
Otherwise I'm gonna have to some math on it to get the 0 value

the Ecowitt gateways/consoles always provide three values:
- last strike in EPOCH
- distance of last strike
- daily count
you can tell MB what to show and what not to show in your graphs - have a look at the MB WiKi and template language.
you can create your own (meta-)chart even with conditional expressions etc. e.g. show distance only if daily count > 0
up to you to create such improvements of your charts 8)
