Lightning/Storm Sensor Suite

A portable, self-contained storm detection and analysis device combining lightning sensing, atmospheric monitoring, and real-time visualisation.

Unlike a basic AS3935 lightning detector, the linked firmware treats strikes as candidates and scores them against recent storm context, environmental trends, disturbers/noise, and thunder correlation.

Description

This is an all round weather/storm sensor device, with both indoor (home) and outdoor (roaming) modes, incorporating a 2.41" Waveshare ESP32-S3 and a touchscreen UI with 8 pages of info and config for tracking storm intensity, storm distance, atmospheric conditions and thunder.

This uses BME280 sensor data and AS3935 disturber signals and other signals to derive a **confidence score** (this eliminates false alarms due to electrical noise but may need tuning for your own circumstances) during storm detection, along with live viewing on screen or querying via API over WiFi when in home mode and Bluetooth alerts when roaming.
