I agree. The other missing thing right now is the delta-t which is derived from a wet bulb temp… also maybe pressure from nearest BOM station that has it would be good as well…
I wouldn’t include pressure from another station in this. If you need that you simply just add another instance of the integration with different settings.
Would it be possible to get the warnings as well?
Looks like its an API call formed similarly to other enquiries - https://api.weather.bom.gov.au/v1/locations/r3gx2f/warnings
Hi guys,
Need your help with the initial configuration.
I used BOM last few years and wanted to move to HACS (never used HACS before).
So I installed HACS, and installed BOM weather card. In HACS/Frontend I can see this card is installed:
Cannot understand what to do next in order to see at least something. Configuration manual says use GUI to configure, but I cannot find any BOM settings in GUI
If adding “-patform: bom” to my sensors.yaml file I am getting “Platform error sensor.bom - Integration ‘bom’ not found.”
You are confusing the custom card which you have installed and need but it looks like you didn’t install the new bom component which is configured in the GUI. Check the docs in github carefully and install the component and then modify the examples for your location to configure the card.
I will work on getting severe weather alerts when I get some time, there is already an issue raised so I don’t forget to do this. It shouldn’t be too hard to implement.
Just started using this card - fantastic!
Any way to have the Location/Title text appear in the spot outlined in Red?
No there isn’t. I’d suggest using a markdown card for that.
David - I appreciate the time of day specific icons when displaying today’s weather, much better than the standard weather card.
Are you able to add an option to just display the standard day time icons for the upcoming days forecasts? Rather than the night time icons? See the example below for what I am talking about.
Example:
Yeah I know what you are asking for. I can do it but not sure I should… night is just as important as day no?
However, lets see what other people say and if that is the consensus I can change it…
Yeah I realise some people may like it, that’s why I thought maybe a configurable option.
That’s weird but also exactly what I want…
The thing is there’s only half a dozen that even have a night option.
That’s a little more complex. I will need to have a look in the code.
I’m not seeing people clamouring for it though.
Might just be me but I see forecasts as being for the coming days. So reckon night icons aren’t needed.
I agree that the upcoming days forecasts should just show daytime icons. I hadn’t noticed though until it was pointed out last night. If you go by what the BoM do they only use daytime icons for the forecasts for upcoming days.
OK Pre-release 0.87 that forces day icons for the forecast days 1-5.
It’s bloody difficult to be able to ‘select’/configure this so I’m just going to push the day icon for those days now.
Let me know if I screwed something up!
Thanks David, now just need to wait until the sun goes down to test. 0.87 works fine during the day.
Yeah it will work at night… I reversed the filter to test so confident it will work… But of course let me know. Then I will release properly
Excellent - thank you!
