Lightning distance error? **solved**

I have two weather stations with the secondary weather station having a lightning sensor. I have mapped the lighting sensor to send data but the lightning distance will not show up on the Ambient Weather Network. Is this because the logical sensor is formatted as " lgt0distance" instead of just "lgt0dist"?

I have tried switching the stations around and when the station with the lightning sensor is set to the Primary Station it work just fine.

Is this a bug?

"lgt0dist" and "lgt0distance" was used inconsistently. I tried to change all instances to "dist" now. Please try just released version.

Had some lightning tonight and got to test it out. It worked!
