Using Tempest data in WD for lightning - unexpected results!

Hi All, I’ve been attempting to set up my old Tempest station (actually a Weatherflow original model) to feed lightning data into WD (on Mac). It seems to work fine in that the count displays and the lightning page is accessible. However, in doing so it seems to override my Davis Vantage Pro 2 temperature with the tempest one in WD. I don’t want it to do this as my VP2 has a fan aspirated sensor and is more accurate. I’ve only ticked the lightning data (in adv/misc setup - tempest), so not sure why this going on. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this and knows of a button I need to press somewhere to correct this!!? Many thanks in advance, Alex.

Hi, Alex. I’m afraid I can’t answer your question, and our Mac/Tempest guru doesn’t seem to visit any more (he’s active over on https://www.wxforum.net/), so you may have to ask Brian direct at [email protected].

But if you get crashing noises from WD to accompany lightning strikes, see Thunder and other sounds :wink:
