Hi There,
I am trying to install your package / lovelace card but the sensors are not showing.
configuration.yaml code snipet
# Configure a default setup of Home Assistant (frontend, api, etc)
default_config:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
local_ip:
# Uncomment this if you are using SSL/TLS, running in Docker container, etc.

weather: !include_dir_merge_named /packages/weather.yaml
group: !include groups.yaml
I am new to all of this and just am not able to see what i have done wrong.
Any ideas would be great
Wellā¦ can you point to ANYWHERE in my docs that I tell you to put the package in the weather domain???
weather: !include_dir_merge_named /packages/weather.yaml
DONāT DO THAT
They are all sensors. You include it as a PACKAGE
Sorry to be testy but you are the third person in a week who has done this for inexplicable reasons!
(In fact just look at the 6 or so posts immediately above your one)
Firstly @DavidFW1960 thank you for all your effort to bring the BOM forecast and weather card into HACs.
I have followed your instructions and installed both the bom_forecast and the bom weather card.
I am using the Melbourne forecast (IDV10450) and the Melbourne (Olympic Park) observation (IDV60901.95936)
I am definitely getting some of the sensor data (i compared to the BOM website) but Iām missing some of the key data.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
You have not added the Template sensors needed for current text and todayās high/low. Some of the conditions in the FTP component donāt existā¦ Check the docs for valid configuration entries. For UV and Fire it looks like you have the wrong entity being parsed through. (They probably need Melbourne in them)
Check the dev-tools that states exist.
Thanks for the advice - Iāve been able to fix the issues and have the card working correctly now.
A couple of quick questions:
- I tried to update a couple of the font sizes (eg current_text from 1.5em to 2 or even 3 - also tried summary) but this didnāt change the text size on the card - is there something else I need to do?
- is there a way to display other information such as the sensor ābom__local_timeā on the card - I tried adding to the card but it didnāt display
- I see that station_name is an attribute in many of the sensors and I can extract that via a template - again unsure how to display on the card.
Not sure if the above are worth coding directly into the card (maybe with toggles to display / not display) - not sure if others would like to see this but I the BOM app on my phone shows this under a āLast Updateā section at the bottom of the weather tab and is handy to know.
Anyway thanks again for your help.
OK. Glad you got it going. I have you a bum steer regarding the UV and Fire - they also use a Template sensor but you hopefully found it.
Regarding the timeā¦ The last updated is an attribute of some of the entities like this one:
Iām reluctant to add any more new information to the card - itās already pretty big and I have had requests to make it smaller.
I have a few other things Iām interested in and I just show them in an entities card below the BOM card. You could display that attribute using that card yourself if you wanted to.
Using the custom config-template card see thisā¦

name: "${'BOM Update:' + '\xa0'.repeat(2) + ( new Date(vars[3]).toLocaleTimeString('en-US') ) + '\xa0'.repeat(2) + 'Current Temp' }"
There is no current way to display the station name on the card but you could do similar to the above for that as well. I canāt see myself adding these to the card itself.
Ohā¦ the font size should work. Iām going to check that now and seeā¦
EDIT: They seem to be ignored. Iāll check that now
EDIT2: I donāt seem to be able to fix it easily. Not sure why at the moment
hey David!
please let me ask if you recognize this iOS app Scrollbar using dark-sky-weather-card? issue I have with the āoriginalā dark-sky-weather-card causing a left hand side scrollbar on the iPhone (in the App and iPhone safari browser).
Does that happen with your card too?
Ive checked the css styles, and quickly dont see too many differences that could come near a reason for this to happen.
thanks if you could check.
I use this card and do not see the scroll bar.
the Bom card of the DS cardā¦?
BoM
āThisā being the topic we are chatting in.
Mariusā¦ try using this BOM card - it should work as is with the configuration you already have.
yeah,thanks, must try that soon, with the demise of DS next yearā¦ better prepare 
btw, Ive found the culprit in my card, had the tooltip_width set to 110. Corrected that to:
tooltip_width: 80
and now showing just beautiful.

Hi David, Iāve really tried hard to get the card working without asking for help but Iām still having problems. I was wondering if one of my mistakes is to use the sensors defined in the package when I also have sensors in sensors.yaml. Should all sensors be in the same file?
Yeah if you use the package, you donāt add your own sensors as well. You will need to change Gosford to whatever city/town you are in. The #1 thing to look for is that if you use Developer Tools>States, make sure every sensor your are parsing through to the card existsā¦ That is the #1 reason people have problems. Feel free to ask for help tooā¦
Thanks Dave, The BOM sensors were all created bar about 6 so I deleted the lines for those in the card. The card still doesnāt show so Iām digging deeper. This is my first use of the HACS.
I have a strange thing happening. I run hassio on a Raspberry Pi and access the folders via SMB from my Mac. I can create folders with any name bar āiconsā via the SMB so I renamed the icons folder before copying it over via SMB then used configurator to rename it back to icons. I can see the folder and contents in hassio but not on the Mac via SMB. I did a search to look for reserved names but nothing came up. Have you ever heard of that as a problem before? Not sure if that is inhibiting the card from appearing?
The SMB addon in Hassio has icons listed in the veto by default - so remove that and restart the addon.
IF the card doesnāt show it means you have entities being parsed to the card that donāt exist. Check them against dev-tools. Or post your card config hereā¦ I can most likely spot it. (pressure missing is common). Also make sure you have got the template sensorsā¦
Some sensors are mandatory so deleting them wonāt help - they will stop the card appearing. Specifically which sensors?
Thanks David. I seem to be progressing however now I am getting āCustom element doesnāt exist: bom-weather-card.ā Wondering if I should remove and reinstall HACS as I read somewhere?
Check your card is correctly configured in configuration / resources (you may have to enable advanced mode in your profile to see this).
