Ecowitt lightning detector webtags

Post by KoenDV »

Hi,
Is there a webtag which results in the full date of the latest strike? The webtag <#LightningTime> only gives the hour of the latest strike, but without the day.

Regards,

Koen

Hi

You need to use this webtag as well for the Ecowitt,

<#LightningTime format="D"> <#LightningTime format="HH:mm:ss">"; // Time of last Lightning strike

A better format for the time webtag is <#LightningTime format="hh:mmtt 'on' dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy">" which gives 08:46PM on Friday, September 06, 2024
