AmbientWeather Display

I developed this Waveshare ESP32-S3 7” display as my AmbientWeather display. I have been frustrated with how the stock display shows data and chose to build my own. I use Home Assistant ESPHome Designer to flash the code. Lightning only shows when there has been a strike <7 days. The backgrounds reflect sky conditions and I have the options to add pages for other items, such as nowcast and weekly forecast. The temperature and dewpoint rings are color coded to reflect temperatures visually. I added a history bar graph to reflect the changes for temperature and dewpoint. All done with Claude assistance on the 4400 lines of code thus far.

Automated Backups

So, I was checking my console yesterday and noticed my rain totals are all at zero inches. I don’t know how this happened, as I didn’t reset or clear any settings on my WS2000. My question is why these consoles don’t have automatic backup settings? I lost all of my rain data since 6/25. I would think there should be updated firmware with automatic backup!
