Custom Dark Sky Animated Weather Card

Hassio_Newb · March 8, 2019, 4:19pm

Thank you. I see no sensor. entries for dark_sky_ which may explain the issue.

My customize.yaml is below, which includes and include for sensors.yaml.

Try changing update_interval to scan_interval in your sensors.yaml and restart HA. There was a breaking change to the dark sky platform a version or so ago that changed this.

m.p.frankland · March 8, 2019, 4:32pm

The card code you are showing is months out of date …

Use the latest version of the card. There are links to it and current instructions for setting it up in the first post of this thread.

Hassio_Newb · March 8, 2019, 4:38pm

Thanks no change.

m.p.frankland · March 8, 2019, 4:42pm

If you click the info icon (the i with a circle around it) in the developer tools panel to see the log are there any messages in it about dark sky ?

The only other thing I can think of is that you are using !secret for the API Key. I don’t do that in mine I just have the actual API key…

Hassio_Newb · March 8, 2019, 5:08pm

Thanks. Nothing about dark sky in that log. Next step is for me to delete everything and start over, re, dark sky card. Will let you know. Thanks again.

I’m not sure about anyone else, but I keep receiving the following error: Please remove [value_template]. (See /home/offspring/.homeassistant/sensors.yaml, line 0).

The line it’s complaining about is seen here:

  value_template: >
                {% if is_state("sensor.dark_sky_icon","clear-day") %} Clear
                {% elif is_state("sensor.dark_sky_icon","clear-night") %} Clear
                {% elif is_state("sensor.dark_sky_icon","rain") %} Rain
                {% elif is_state("sensor.dark_sky_icon","snow") %} Snowy
                {% elif is_state("sensor.dark_sky_icon","fog") %} Foggy
                {% elif is_state("sensor.dark_sky_icon","sleet") %} Sleet

                {% elif is_state("sensor.dark_sky_icon","partly-cloudy-night") %} Partly Cloudy
                {% elif is_state("sensor.dark_sky_icon","hail") %} Hailing
                {% elif is_state("sensor.dark_sky_icon","lightning") %} Lightning
                {% elif is_state("sensor.dark_sky_icon","thunderstorm") %} Thunderstorm
                    #  dark_sky_alt_wind:
                  value_template: >
                {% set winddir = ['North','North-Northeast','Northeast','East-Northeast','East','East-Southeast','Southeast','South-Southeast','South','South-Southwest','Southwest','West-Southwest','West','West-Northwest','Northwest','North-Northwest','North'] %}
                {{ states('sensor.dark_sky_wind_speed') | round }} mi/h from the {{ winddir[((states('sensor.dark_sky_wind_bearing') | float / 360)*16) | round]}}

Has anyone else seen this, and know how to resolve the issue properly?

m.p.frankland · March 9, 2019, 4:14pm

It looks like you have commented out the next template name so value_template: > appears twice in the same template.

# dark_sky_alt_wind:

BRTPOB · March 9, 2019, 4:55pm

Yeah, I commented that out because HA was complaining about that as well.

firstof9 · March 9, 2019, 10:12pm

It’d complain about that line because you’re missing the {% endif %}

pretious · March 10, 2019, 12:12am

Hi, m.p.frankland,
I have followed the latest instructions, but it’s still not working, would you let me know where I have gone wrong. I am getting this error;

The beginning of your lovelace-ui.yaml should look like this:

resources:
  - type: module
    url: /local/custom_ui/dark-sky-weather-card.js?v=7.1

You appear to be missing the resources: line.

As I mentioned below, you have commented out the name of the template sensor

Based on your last post you have also commented out the 1st template sensor

#  dark_sky_current_text:

That leaves you with two value_template statements in the middle of your configuration with no template sensor names to associate them with which is why you are getting your current error.

You also mention that you commented these lines out because you were getting an error on those lines

You haven’t posted what that error is, but it is likely because you have stuck the template sensors in the middle of your configuration immediately below your dark sky configuration without defining the template platform.

The template platform should start like this

  - platform: template
    sensors:

with the templates defined below it.

I would suggest reviewing the HA documentation on template sensors to see other examples of how they work. You can find it here.

Also, please note that the two template sensors you are adding are only examples and are only needed under certain conditions based on how you configure the card. The readme for the card has details on this.

BRTPOB · March 10, 2019, 1:42pm

I’m not sure what the problem was before, but the error was something to the effect of “these are no longer supported post .88, and previously we didn’t complain”. I went and uncommented them and now all of a sudden HA seems to be fine with them.

I know they’re only examples, but that was how I got the card to show up with all of the data/mouseover tooltips.

pretious · March 11, 2019, 6:16am

Hi bosborne,
I do have the resources: line, it’s just slightly higher up. I do have the type and the url the other way around, does that matter?

anon34565116 · March 11, 2019, 9:43am

That may matter. I have not worked enough with Home Assistant to know.

finity · March 11, 2019, 10:02am

No. Either order is fine. All of mine are just like yours.

BRTPOB · March 11, 2019, 9:27pm

I got the error to re-appear:

Your configuration contains extra keys that the platform does not support. Please remove [dark_sky_current_text], [dark_sky_alt_wind]. (See /home/offspring/.homeassistant/sensors.yaml, line 0).

9:26 PM helpers/config_validation.py (WARNING)

m.p.frankland · March 12, 2019, 3:17am

As explained here

Without it, HA thinks you are adding tempate sensors to the dark sky platform which it doesnt support.

This is based on the posting of your config you provided here:
