Good day,
I want to buy an ecowitt lightning sensor, the WH57 and the GW1100, both 868Mhz for Europe.
On the ecowitt site, these are sold out, they are available for the UK also 868Mhz
Can I buy these, or does it give problems with plugs?

The 868MHz UK version is ok.
In this case you should use the
ecowitt plugin to receive the gw1100 data ( via custom upload )
Not sure such a configuration is 'officially' supported by meteotemplate ( I mean sending part of the sensors via meteobridge and part via gw1100 ), but it should work.
I use a similar configuration ( main sensors sent via wh2650 and homemade pm sensor sent separately ) and it works correctly ( so I'm confident it will work for you ).
Only problem I can imagine, is that as the two devices are asynchronous, it may happen that the two devices call api.php in the same time ( a very rare event, in my opinion ), don't know if this could cause any problem

My plan was via meteobridge, I can then put the data into the api, it will then be sent to meteotemplate.
I had seen a lightning block somewhere I think.

Yes, this is a better solution, the lightning block should be fine

I installed this block but see nothing, is it the right block?

You need only the directory lightningew, the path should be: meteotemplate/homepage/blocks/lightningew.
Meteobridge should pass the following fields:
Code: Select all
L ( number )
LD ( distance )
LT ( timestamp )
In your cache/apiLog.txt I see the following:
Code: Select all
update LT1: 7.8
update L:
update LD: 77<=
- there is no LT ( as LT1 should be leaf temperature )
- L is empty ( maybe only because no lightning recorded? )
-LD contains spurious characters

The block is now visible, was in a duplicate folder, then data from meteobridge should not be a problem,I have the code below in the api.
LT1 =leaf
Code: Select all
<1=[th0!15temp-lastval.1:--]&L=[lgt1!0total-dmax.0:]&LD=[lgt1!0dist-lastval.0:77]<=[lgt1!0total-nonzerotime=epoch:]
