The AM2315 has a weird I2C response protocol (0x5C) and so it will only show up every other time in general (really fast, you may get it twice in a row).
What address is your lightning detector supposed to be on?

The default is 0x03 (of the chip). I have no documentation on the board itself. Hence can't say really. Reason I have tried to probe for existing addresses or so.

i2cdetect is not picking it up on 0x03. I2cdetect isn't infallible, but it works quite well. Have you tried changing the address to 0x03 and running the AS3935 test software?
I really think your board is not working if it doesn't show up on i2cdetect.

Yes I tried. That's why I think the powersave boards are broken. Can I bypass these boards for the AQI and Thunderboard? As I'm not battery powered, I don't really care about the power saving.

Yes, you can bypass them. Put the cable that goes into the Input of the Grove PowerSave into the device you are controlling.
It's strictly a power saving issue.

ok. I may bypass that then as I'm not bound to battery/solar power. Will check this Week-End if I have a little time :}
Thanks
