All the WEATHER you need - 18 internal integrations in Home Assistant

[@jaap7374]

I recently wrote a community guide with all Weather integrations: The definitive guide to Weather integrations. I'll link to your video. Could you link back to the community guide?

[@BeardedTinker]

Sure, hmm - need to find a link and you can't post it here :)

Great video, the Government of Canada has a good API which is integrated into HA without any accounts needed. Domestic weather stations only but very useful for Canadians. Integration is called « Environment Canada » which is also the name of the national agency. Cheers

[@BeardedTinker]

Thanks for sharing!

[@vinnie4v277]

I hope ferrari didnt use those😂

[@Marqs_se]

Wow! Great video. This was perfect. Thank you!

[@sevagjb]

Indeed, it's the right time to start using new integrations for weather updates.

[@BeardedTinker]

And there are a lot of options!

[@NicksStuff]

Did you do a video with HACS services? I really like Blitzortung for lightning detection

[@BeardedTinker]

I've been using Blitzortung for years - it's really good integration. I think I did video on it a long time ago. There was also once upon a time WWLN - WorldWide Lightning Network, but it stopped sharing date, so integration was removed. I've never did video on HACS services, although I've used some in the past (before 2.0 released). Need to fix those as they are not working anymore.

[@BernhardNeuhofer]

Great Video! For Austria you can use the "GeoSphere Austria" Intergration

[@BeardedTinker]

Thanks for the tip!

[@adifoto6362]

Thanks for the video. we do love a freebee, i use accuweather for quite a wile. works good.

[@BeardedTinker]

That's great! I use it also on one of the systems (plus Met.no).

[@carltonwbrooks]

Fantastic video. I am a weather nerd an this really helps.

[@BeardedTinker]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@amadorjp]

For weather Forecast in Portugal, we have IPMA integration. It's free, and only requires the GPS coordenates.

[@BeardedTinker]

I've actually tried it and it pulled info from town "closest" to me: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpbdgKtsadN_nqM

Great video and well explained! Gonna try some of them and please link the Weather Template Provider video that you did! Thx

Sounds great!

[@stanpittner313]

Thanks B.T.

Any time Ron and thanks for watching!

[@tomgrey3046]

I get lost in get.forecast/get.forecasts change and actual forecast entity creation. Some of my entities use forecasts to feed displayed information or automation. Can we get a tutorial on pulling forecast data (daily and hourly) for met.no, OpenWeatherMap, or Accuweather into new entities? Do not know what kind of output can be generated and if this requires a specific configuration for every weather condition. Precipitation, aggregated precipitation, wind speed, and bearing, temperature, pressure are the most popular ones. Great content as always!

[@BeardedTinker]

You want to create separate sensors out of data in weather.home (for example) There is good example of simple automation on HA forums: #weather forcast hourly sensor - trigger: - platform: time_pattern minutes: /1 - platform: homeassistant event: start action: - service: weather.get_forecasts data: type: hourly target: entity_id: weather.home response_variable: hourly sensor: - name: Weather Hourly state: "{{ states('weather.home') }}" attributes: temperature: "{{ state_attr('weather.home', 'temperature') }}" dew_point: "{{ state_attr('weather.home', 'dew_point') }}" temperature_unit: "{{ state_attr('weather.home', 'temperature_unit') }}" humidity: "{{ state_attr('weather.home', 'humidity') }}" cloud_coverage: "{{ state_attr('weather.home', 'cloud_coverage') }}" pressure: "{{ state_attr('weather.home', 'pressure') }}" pressure_unit: "{{ state_attr('weather.home', 'pressure_unit') }}" wind_bearing: "{{ state_attr('weather.home', 'wind_bearing') }}" wind_speed: "{{ state_attr('weather.home', 'wind_speed') }}" wind_speed_unit: "{{ state_attr('weather.home', 'wind_speed_unit') }}" visibility_unit: "{{ state_attr('weather.home', 'visibility_unit') }}" precipitation_unit: "{{ state_attr('weather.home', 'precipitation_unit') }}" forecast: "{{ hourly['weather.home'].forecast }}" You can check it here: community.home-assistant.io/t/update-from-using-weather-attributes-with-the-new-service-weather-get-forecasts/702736

[@tomgrey3046]

@@BeardedTinker thanks, it works indeed. It creates a single entity with many attributes. Still need to remind myself how to extract attributes and use them in the automation.

[@kentoliver2945]

May I ask what weathermap Card are you using on the left side of your dashboard?

[@BeardedTinker]

One with rain map? That's not "card" - it's card where I've embedded contents of the windy.com site into HA. Did video on it some time ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2nNZqNjebqXd6c

[@NathanielBakerAdelaide]

How did you forget BOM for Australia?

[@geoffreycoan]

Hi, thanks for the comprehensive run through. I live in the UK and so have been using the Met Office integration. It’s true, it was broken due to a Python upgrade and was called out as a breaking change in the HA release notes, but the integration was fixed in the .2 patch release and its been working fine ever since. However, I had been thinking about changing away from Met Office as it only gives 3 hour weather forecasts, not hourly. It would seem accuweather or met.no are my best choices? Did you do any comparison of the detail/accuracy of the different forecasts?

[@BeardedTinker]

I use both of them in main setup. Can't tell you how accurate they are as forecasts are usually 100% correct 50% of the time (if you know what I mean). But what stands out in favour of AccuWeather is quantity of data. Not just weather info (temperature, air pressure, humidity, wind & visibility), but also other sensors such as air quality, cloud cover, day/night conditions, hours of sun per day and much more - around 129 entities overall. BTW - for me, while I do have API key for Met Office, I still can't add it - it fails each time.

[@geoffreycoan]

Wow, accuweather does have a crazy number of forecast sensors. Bit of a fiddle to set up but very comprehensive, thanks. No idea what your problem is with Met Office integration, it’s working fine for me. Assume you are on a recent HA version? The issue you referenced on another comment has been closed for Met Office and there is only 2 outstanding issues on GitHub at the moment

[@vicb2389]

I am also using Met Office and it is getting weather updates.

[@geoffreycoan]

@@vicb2389 Unfortunately the Met Office has announced that they are not accepting any further registrations for the MetOffice API as the service will be retired in March 2025 😥

Video title typo: "18 internal integrations" which I thought was A LOT 😂 Using Météo-France over here because living in France ^^

[@BeardedTinker]

Do you also use rain map? (I think Meteo-France has it if I'm not mistaken).

[@tomgrey3046]

I got 3 weather stations in my neighbourhood, but all of them report to Weather Underground service. I see them on WU website, but haven't found the way how to obtain data from the station of my choice (like in AmbientWeatherNetwork or Station). Unfortunately I can't see these stations in AWN and those I can see, even if they are relatively close (like the airport), do not work in homeassistant due to missing time stamps (?). Hopefully there is a way to use the WU specific station data, if anyone has a clue, please advise.

[@BeardedTinker]

I was submitting data to WU for 10+ years. Stopped when they changed policy. One of the changes was also only allowing owners of PWS to pull data from their weather station, not from others. That made me stop providing data to the network.

[@JaneTaubman]

A useful trick if a free account needed a credit card is to use one of the banking apps which allow you to create one time credit cards. They will get you through the CC check and then die gracefully.

[@garywalker9502]

I thought the Met Office Weather stopped working a while ago?

[@BeardedTinker]

Yes, due to upstream issue in released 2024.2 (I said 2024.4 in video by mistake). github.com/EJEP/datapoint-python/issues/183

[@vicb2389]

It is working currently.

[@pmurray0511]

I get an 'Invalid API key" error. Can anyone help with this? (Accuweather)

Not sure why. It should be 32 alphanumerical values long. Check that you've copied it correctly. There are currently no issues for this on GitHub.

I've never used open weather map. It's a shame that they need your credit card for verification purposes. This should be illegal, especially if the purpose might be for future purchases.

[@jorgeromero4680]

I have a thermometer on my balcony, so I don't actually need a weather service.

[@BeardedTinker]

That's great - how about humidity and pressure?

[@jorgeromero4680]

@@BeardedTinker Most thermometers have humidity sensors, mine too. For the rest i can see the app on my phone. Generally the temperature of the forecast service is different from the actual temperature i track outside of my home.

[@BeardedTinker]

That's why one of the proposed services was weather template to pull data from your local sensors and include it in weather (forecast) information.

[@vicb2389]

Accuweather is not on our side. NWS = National Weather Service [government funded by taxpayers] "In 2005, after meeting with a representative from AccuWeather, then-Senator Rick Santorum introduced a bill calling for the NWS to cease competition with the private sector, and reserve its forecasts for commercial providers. The bill never made it out of committee. But in 2017, Trump picked Myers [Accuweather person] to lead NOAA."
