as you can see above, I indeed had the radius and window set. No long/lat. Hoping it would default to the config long/lat. Ive now taken out the window and radius altogether, (have these set in the integration settings) and restarted… Nothing:-(
Oddly enough, the only thing I kept is the lat long. (Only 2 decimal places) that does work…
But the radius and window changes have zero effect. I’m showing strikes from 40 minutes ago over 90 miles away. (I thought the default in this version was 25 miles and 10 minutes.)
just to be 100% sure: you use the integrations wwlln setup
, or configured it in the yaml file with
wwlln:
?
I had initially set it up using “integrations”. But that used the default lat/long from my config.yaml.
So then I went into config.yaml yesterday and shortened the lat/long to 2 decimal places, and rebooted. Strikes finally started showing, BUT then I had 2 WWLLN integrations 1 with the default lat/long from my config and 1 with the shortened lat/long. I then deleted the one with the default lat/long and left the other.
UPDATE: Completely removed all wwlln integrations. rebooted. Added WWLLN using integrations. When creating the integration I truncated the lat/long to 2 decimals and extended radius to 50. Rebooted. Big t-storm currently within 15 miles of my location… results… nothing… no strikes on map. Will continue to monitor.
Update 2: removed all wwlln integrations, rebooted. Added new wwlln integration, did not change any settings, rebooted again. Big storm overhead for past hour and still going strong. Nothing showing on map.
Update 3: upgraded to HA 0.97. Wwlln working as it should be!
Woke up this morning to a map full of lightning strikes, so wwlln and HA 0.97 play nice together.
But the problem is that the storm ended 8 hours ago. I thought the default was 1 hour and then I assumed they would clear out?
Pure intuition, or alot of trial and error
Had problems also with the “window” keeping lightning strikes on the map forever, swaped to
window:
__minutes: 30
seams to work, the distance never changes from 149.9km though, whatever i put in it keeps showing me data from my specified long-lat and everything within 149.9 km ill try update now to 0.97 and wait for next thunderstorm.
my current config…
wwlln:
__latitude: 59.07
__longitude: 15.54
__window:
____minutes: 30
__radius: 20
EDIT: “__” is not underscore, just blank spaces, this forum truncates spaces in begining of lines
You need to use code blocks to post code. You use three backticks on the line before and after the code and it will post correctly.
Exact same behaviour for me. Lightnings from yesterday (16 hours ago) plotted on map. What am I doing wrong. Using integrations with everything default exept zoom value. Lovelace map.
well, there’s progress here!
I’ve deleted the entries in the configuration/integrations, restarted, and have edited my yaml entry. Of course restarted again (changing yaml still requires that)
I now see a map with many lighting strikes! finally. The entry in the configuration/integration tab is back though. Still saying no devices.
all in all this feels a bit flakey, not to say flawed…
The whole idea of the configuration/integration would be no manual editing is needed any more? While in this case, it only worked the other way round.
btw, now I have states, I wonder what the state is expressing. Attributes are clear, but the state is a number I do not yet understand?
The number is the distance in kilometres or miles from your location to that event.
Ha! Of course… thx.
Having set a radius of 200 doesn’t work though( now i see in the frontend: sorry for my question above…)
Yes the Radius part seams broken?
Look in the GUI under "Configurations --> “Integrations”
Make sure you dont have multiple lines of WWLLN, i had 3 i think, one for each change in the long-lat config.
I removed the 2 old ones. Maybe that helps?
have only one now. A no lightning never know if its alright or not… somehow a ‘mother’ señor indicating setup is correct would really be very nice.
Woke up to 1 lightning strike on my map… from 8 hours earlier. I think the “window” is broken too.
Had a pretty good storm roll through last night. My map is filled with strikes… more than 12 hours after the storm has passed (see map).
I don’t think my integrations is purging the strikes…
yep, same here. 5 and 6 hour old lightning strikes…
file an issue?
btw, I deleted the yaml entry wwlln:
and now have 2 integrations configured on 2 lat/longs, which seems to work for now in HA 97.2.
made a conditional Map to only show when strikes are actually there. see Conditional Map?
I would but I don’t have an actual config… I set it up using configuration -> integrations and let it use the default location that’s in my regular config.yaml.
(I basically clicked 2 buttons and let it be.)
If it helps though, the (general) location I have setup in my config is: 41.10XXXX, -74.17XXXX
