Customising the BOM Weather and lovelace - now in HACS

Yes, that is correct, I could do that, however, would it not show the numbers as: high/low? (the low now being in bold?). I’ll admit, I haven’t tried it, but, I suspect that’s what it would do. I prefer my forecast to look like the attached image. If you felt so inclined to add an option for this, that’d be great, otherwise, I’ll just keep tweaking the code with each new update. I appreciate your work! image

Yeah it will always bold the second one. It’s probably not a difficult change. I will take a look and see.

ok. Can you pull master instead of 0.82 and add a flag

tempformat: highlow

and then it will show this:

If it is working for you then I will push an update.

Empty cache and hard reload and ctrl+r a few times…

OH CRAP… hang on… I need another change cos when it refreshes it reverses again…

ok I fixed that. it should work as you want now. Please let me know.

DAMN I need to push to master… DONE.

once more… when it refreshes after 30 seconds it sticks now… that was harder than I expected lol.

Ok, I have it installed, and, so far so good. I will keep a close eye on it and make sure and let you know if I notice a problem. This is, really, truly, awesome. Thank-you so much for your work. I’ve been looking for something like this for so long. I can’t understand why the default weather card is so limiting. This has allowed me to combine my personal weather station, for current info, with the National Weather Service information for forecasting.

I’ve got some spare time to switch over to Brendan’s BoM component today. So any changes to this procedure you would recommend?

  1. Remove BoM custom component (Old core BoM integration).
  2. Remove existing BoM templates.
  3. Install Brendan’s BoM integration.
  4. Restart.
  5. Configure BoM integration.
  6. Add new templates.
  7. Add new BoM weather radar card.
  8. Restart.

Pretty much Tom. If you look on my github for an updated package etc you can then just search and replace my city for yours and it should just work. If you did install a previous version of Brendans integration delete that as well and restart HA. He changed some sensor names… I updated all the docs, templates etc today.

Just wanted to say thanks for your hard work on this card (and prior versions) really useful here in Sydney.

Cheers

I did not get around to doing this yet.

Have a look at David’s configuration.

If you get any sensor name wrong in here the card will not show at all. I had a lot of fun finding my typo when I changed over.

thanks … some debugging (##) identified the problem…
all my issues have been caused by BOM being dropped due to scrapping etc …

now to fix the simple weather card !!! arrghh

Thanks all for your work. I have installed the custom component within HACS and also BOM but I am getting the error: Platform error sensor.bom_forecast - Integration ‘bom_forecast’ not found.

Any tips? Thank you!

All the sensor names have changed in the new integration
Add the repo as a custom repo in HACS and install the Bureau of Meterology component.
Restart HA
Add Bureau of Meterology integration, enter lat/long and finish. You should then get a bunch of sensors.

Hmm I’m not seeing the changed sensors.

I have

sensor.sydney_olympic_park_wind_speed
sensor.sydney_olympic_park_temperature
sensor.sydney_olympic_park_temperature_feels_like

etc

runing version 0.8 via HACS on HA 0.117.4

you need to remove the integration, restart and add the integration back again to see the new names

Thank you for this amazing card. Is there somewhere I can find a bunch of examples I could copy and paste from? I am trying to get rid of this white space but can’t sus it out.

Check the github repo for additional variables to set.

I have install the Bureau component with HACS, did the integration but could not see any new sensors. Just now I did update of the component in HACS and getting message in notifications:

Invalid config
The following integrations and platforms could not be set up:
* bureau_of_meteorology.sensor
* bureau_of_meteorology.weather
Please check your config.

Is there anything I have to add to my config? What am I missing?
Thank you
