Lighting Distance Sensor for Aurora Templates
Posted: Thu Aug 28, 2025 10:15 am
Not sure if this is a template problem or my configuration.
All of the Aurora templates I try will only display my lightning strike counts, but not distance to the station. Lighting distance is reported to Meteobridge, and Meteobridge has an existing mapping variable to support it, a placeholder in the template, but the number doesn’t post properly.
Perhaps my mapping is not correct . Below is my Mapping from a Ecowitt GW2000 (in the third station position )
Sensor is a WH57 in a sheltered box, distance data is displayed in Ecowitt app, and appears in the Meteobridge monitor menu.
Do I need to define parameters using a virtual sensor? I’m lost ?
