Block lightning

Post by meteoparquecoimbra » Sat Jan 10, 2026 11:49 am

Hola, tengo un detector de rayos WH57 de ecowitt y me preguntaba si hay algún bloque especifico para presentar los datos en meteotemplate. Estoy subiendo el dato a la base de datos como extra sensor "L" y me gastaría saber que se puede hacer con ese dato dentro de meteotemplate.
Gracias por anticipado.

Hola,
this is not so easy. The block "lightning" does not use a local sensor, instead it refers to an URL of an organization which provides the data.
When using a local sensor/database you need to edit some pages or create a new block.
BTW: what kind of values does the Ecowitt sensor provides, just a "count" of lightnings?
Also: what is the time range, lightnings per minute, hour, day, ...?
Does it reset itself or is an external reset necessary?
...
These are all questions you need to consider when creating or modifying the pages.

Come vorresti presentare i dati rilevati dal sensore WH 57 ?
Ho anch'io lo stesso sensore della Ecowitt, ho dovuto creare un blocco come quello che appare nella colonna centrale del mio portale.

If you can also add the LD ( lightning distance ) and LT ( lightning timestamp ) fields to the alldataExtra database.
There is a lightningew block ( originally written by raffaello di martino )
