Hi Tom, as David said the weather forecast card is the one by MPFrankland which is called Darksky however I use ALL BoM data other than the icons (which are Darksky) for the same reason you said, the Darksky data for Aus is rubbish.
The previous screenshot was cut off, the full weather forecast card looks like this:
Did you edit the card js file to add the extra info at the op of your card that is not seen in the MPF’s version (sunrise, sunset etc…)?
Um… it IS shown in his card… (you might be on a real old version?)
Ok. The pic is from the first post about the card. It has obviously been updated since then.
It was originally designed for Dark Sky. I use it with my personal weather station and BOM forecast for the forecasts, and then Dark Sky to fill in the blanks.
The new 0.90 version of HA changes custom components slightly. I got the error:
[homeassistant.loader] Integrations need to be in their own folder. Change camera/bom_radar.py to bom_radar/camera.py. This will stop working soon.
Changing the name of the directory and python file works. The github repo might need an update to reflect the changes?
Hi SparkyDave; I love your weather card (and I’m in the same city as you judging by the background photo!). I currently use dark sky for the animated weather card, and a separate BOM component (for more accurate weather). How do you go about using the BOM sensors in the animated card?
(apologies if you’ve already answered this, I had a quick read but couldn’t find anything)
Hey mate, yeah Perth…
I have all this in a package. Excuse the #'d out lines, however they will give you some links that you need. eg: the bom_radar custom_component (this thread). I then use the custom Darksky card by mp frankland in Lovelace.

As you can see I only use Darksky for the icons, no actual weather data. The Darksky data for Perth sucks
I know what you mean - I only use it because it looks so good - looking forward to some yaml work tomorrow😄
So Brendon, native support for BOM radar in 0.92.0! Appreciate having your component so thanks!
I saw that!! Pretty exciting 
thanks all for coming on the radar journey with me 
No thank you!
Nice work Brendan.
Man, how on earth did I not find this before? Awesome work, thanks very much. My weather tab for Lovelace hasn’t felt complete without radar.
So there was no mention of this component on the 0.92 update, but it is showing on the components page at https://www.home-assistant.io/components/bom/.
However, there is an error regarding Pillow, so perhaps it’s not quite ready and the component page was updated in error. Note that installing Pillow will make it work, but obviously that shouldn’t be necessary for a core component.
So for anyone wanting to use this on 0.92, use:
camera:
- platform: bom
location: locationname
and then install Pillow as per callifo’s instructions:
apt-get install libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev
sudo su -s /bin/bash homeassistant
source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate
pip3 install PillowThat’s not possible for Hassio users.
It is in the release notes, have another look. It’s probably not given as much credit as it should have thought given how awesome it is
You’re quite right, it is too. Hopefully the Pillow issue is sorted for Hassio users.
