I don’t see this any on this forum, but it would be great if someone can create a lightning detector app, like: if close, send push “Thunder in the area”. Based on these maps: http://nl.blitzortung.org/live_lightning_maps.php?map=16 or: https://www.lightningmaps.org/

The Blitzortung.org site seems to forbid its data for use with something like Homey: http://en.blitzortung.org/contact.php#contribution_7 Lightningmaps.org uses the same data.

Thanks for your reply. That’s to bad :(. Update: https://www.buienradar.nl/nederland/neerslag/onweerradar-live maybe?

It is for outside. I have only had mine for 2 weeks so not sure how long the battery will last but I think it is at least one year.

@Adrian_Rockall What about the gateway, how it it powered, USB? What is the black wire for? [image]

The Home Assistant/HACS has a lightning alarm with a map. The warnings can be passed on to Homey via MQTT. [Screenshot_20210603-182513_Chrome] [Screenshot_20210603-182249_Chrome] [Screenshot_20210603-182341_Chrome]

Yes, power is via USB. The black wire is a temperature and Humidity probe.
