BOM Australia weather in groups.yaml

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Hi, This is what I have in my configuration.yaml

sensor:
  - platform: bom
    station: IDW60901.94608
    name: Western Australia
    monitored_conditions:
      - apparent_t
      - gust_kmh
      - air_temp
      - rain_trace
      - rel_hum
      - wind_dir
      - wind_spd_kmh

And this is what I have in groups.yaml

PerthWeather:
  name: Perth Current Weather
  entities:
    - sun.sun
    - sensor.bom_western_australia_air_temp_c
    - sensor.bom_western_australia_feels_like_c
    - sensor.bom_western_australia_rain_today
    - sensor.bom_western_australia_relative_humidity
    - sensor.bom_western_australia_wind_speed_kmh
    - sensor.bom_western_australia_wind_gust_kmh
    - sensor.bom_western_australia_wind_direction

The problem is that I cannot see anything within the group “PerthWeather”. I can only see the “Sun” entry. Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Check the log for errors and check in dev tools states that the entity_id’s are correct. BTW you shouldn’t use uppercase entity_id’s ‘PerthWeather:’

Thanks Keith. I clicked on “Check Config” button in hassio and it says configuration valid. I have now removed the titlecase to PerthWeather and change that to perthweather.

Still not seeing any entries.

Have checked the Removed integration - Home Assistant page and it seems I have called the various sensors correct.

Any ideas?

Did you restart home assistant?

Yes. I did.

Edit: Dont’t get me wrong, BOM sensor is working as long as I don’t try to put the sensors in a group. i.e. the sensors will display fine if there are in its own bubble at the top of the screen.

Hass.io says 0.64 is available. I am going to update now and see if this makes a difference.

You have to check in the states table in dev tools, there is no guarantee that those are correct.

Strange I can get Rottnest Island to work but not Perth :stuck_out_tongue: OK, got it to work, not sure why Perth wouldn’t turn up to begin with but its working now :slight_smile: I copied your group format into my groups and …

So I guess there must be something else wrong with your group or like me Perth wasn’t working for a while, try restarting :slight_smile:

Thanks Keith. Upon restarting the 2nd time, it is now working. It wasn’t before! All good now. Thanks again!
