It is very easy to do it yourself. Just use the three webtags #LightningStrikesToday, #LightningDistance and #LightningTime format="hh:mmtt 'on' dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy". The last one formats the date so you get this
Lightning Strikes Today 0
Distance of last strike 21.1 miles Time of last strike 02:58AM on Sunday, September 08, 2024
Lightning Strikes Today 0
Distance of last strike 21.1 miles Time of last strike 02:58AM on Sunday, September 08, 2024

My guess is he is using an Ecowitt one attached to his GW2000.wurzelmac wrote: ↑Sat 14 Sep 2024 5:42 pmMay I ask you what lightning sensor you are using in combi with Davis VP2?

Can I combine those Ecowitt / Froggit sensors to my existing Davis WLL? In other words, is it possible to receive data from Davis AND other systems?

Any input to this one by The Dalek Hunter himself? Would be much appreciated, because we both use MacOS and Davis equipement. Thanks in advance!

Yes you can. You configure the Ecowitt under Extra Sensors. Cumulus then listens for data sent by the Ecowitt station, the send is configured under the stations Custom Server setting.

I have three stations
https://longsuttonweather.co.uk. - Davis
https://www.longsutton-weather.co.uk - Ecowitt
https://wx-watch.co.uk/cmxt - Tempest
However the way I combine the data so I can see Lightning strikes is to use PWS Dashboard
