Did not see any current discussions on this so I am starting fresh. I have an AIR that is connected via local communications to 2 automation platforms (Homeseer and Home Assistant) to provide various verbal alerts. The lightning alerts trigger from a change in the Lightning Strikes count. We are having some lightning now so I was watching the feed into the two systems and noticed that shortly after a strike the count returns to zero. I was expecting a total count for the day so I am confused about what is going on. Is there something I need to configure in Weatherflow to get the lightning count to show a total and not reset back to zero after each strike? I notice the Distance value also returns to zero but the Last Strike time does persist so I have that at least. Both automation platforms are doing the same thing so I can’t blame the integration… did something change in the API?
the api reports the strike count in the observation interval.

So if data is sent once per minute the count will reset to zero every 60 seconds?

I think so, but using the api you could request data with a longer observation interval.
The count is since the last obs packet, which defaults to one minute…
