We've added a lightning detector. We hit a snag when we discovered that using dimmers in the house caused erroneous "hits". So, we're trying to remember not to turn on dimmers when the lightning detector is in use. The final solution to this problem will be to move the detector antenna outside to the weather station sensor post. That will mean burying a cable.
Otherwise, the display works great and can be very interesting. The unit is most accurate for storms within 300 miles, but it can sense lightning from much greater distances, too. Those distant hits might not be exactly where the storm is, but it gets pretty close.
