Australian BOM Rain Radar Card

Well that’s odd…

V1.2.4 released. Adds the ability to use satellite tiles.
I can’t use the gui editor for the card as HA 0.115 introduced a breaking change that has broken all custom cards using the gui editor.
See https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/7098 for details.

Nice! You didn’t say in the docs but instead of light, dark or voyager, use satellite for the new map style.

theRat · September 23, 2020, 11:38pm

It’s in the readme under the heading ‘map style’.

DavidFW1960 · September 23, 2020, 11:41pm

It is too… but that readme doesn’t show that column when you go to the repo unless you click on the readme itself…

V1.2.5 is released. It adds an option to show an overlay of radar coverage and some minor tidy up of mouse events.

So dark and satellite are not working just showing a blank map, This the case for anyone else?

DavidFW1960 · October 17, 2020, 10:28am

No. Working here

bergasha · October 17, 2020, 10:46am

Hmmmm could you share your code I’ll see what’s going on?

DavidFW1960 · October 17, 2020, 10:58am

It’s up a few posts. I was using voyager but now using satellite so just change voyager to satellite.

bergasha · October 17, 2020, 11:11am

That’s working with yours… Thanks mate

I have noticed problems with getting the actual radar tiles that the bom publish. It unfortunately looks like a problem with the BOM. Even using there radar viewer I get the same problem where many tiles simply are blank. There viewer for anyone that doesn’t know is at https://weather.bom.gov.au/location/r3dp390-canberra. It is also the same on there android app. I haven’t seen any problems with the actual base maps.

It seems dark and satellite don’t work with show_scale: false
That could be what @bergasha was seeing?

Thanks for the heads up. I am stupidly busy today/tomorrow, but I will investigate on Thursday. I suspect it will be a pretty easy fix.

theRat · October 20, 2020, 5:37am

Found 5 minutes to look and fix. v1.2.6 should fix this.

DavidFW1960 · October 20, 2020, 6:00am

Did you bump the version in the js file? I loaded new and cleared cache but still says 1.2.5

scotty1395 · October 20, 2020, 6:12am

Wow - thanks for the quick fix!
I think static_map: false may (now?) also be a problem.

Satellite and dark work with show_scale: false and static_map: true, but don’t work with show_scale: false and static_map: false

Also, show_scale: true and static_map: true doesn’t actually show the scale.

theRat · October 20, 2020, 7:12am

I did. It is showing 1.2.6 everywhere for me.

theRat · October 20, 2020, 7:13am

I’ll have a more thorough look tomorrow if I can find time, if not Thursday.

DavidFW1960 · October 20, 2020, 7:27am

Weird… I’m on my ipad…
