There is a node-red flow that polls the litigators site and tell you how far away a lightning strike is detected. There are a couple of different flows in the file section. No need for any sensor hardware.

Hello Laci
AMS AS3935 Franklin Lightning Sensor can detect lightning near your QTH. Once detected, nodered can be used to control a coaxial relay or if using a mechanical relay, a servo can be used to control that.
You can use ESP32. If you are using HomeAssistant, then setting up sensor is quite easy via Esphome.
