Programs to read Acurite Lightning sensor data and transmit an opinion about the likelihood of a close-by lightning strike.

The main decision making program. For testing, you can copy to detect-test.py and edit the testmode flag to do parallel testing.

Thresholds as currently calculated.

These should be in a separate folder.

MQTTRecorder: This program will record MQTT transmissions from the HA server and store them in a database. You can record a real lightning storm event (max two hours real time) and record the data in a SQLite database.

MQTTPlayer: Program will replay a storm event. A command line parameter selects which storm from the database.

run_test: A shell script to replay multiple recordings from the database.

events.sql: A database dump of a storm event

check_lightning: This program connects to the lightning manager to read its opinion on likelihood of a "close-by" strike. If 100%, the program will shutdown the Raspberry Pi, the UPS3 that supports the RPI, and then disconnect from the wall wart adapter powering the UPS3. There is a testmode flag so that you can connect to a different port in a different program (detect-test.py). Also can generate test URL instead of real URL. See the program comments.
