Customising the BOM Weather and lovelace - now in HACS

If the card isn’t displaying it means you are missing a required entity. This can be because you misspelled one or could also be that you are passing one that doesn’t exist. (Classic is pressure)

Check all entities in the lovelace card actually exist in dev tools. If you still can’t find it, PM me your card config, weather.yaml and location (lat/long) and I will add your config to my dev instance and see where your error is.

Found it, as you suggested, I had one incorrect entity.
It looks marvelous, thank you for your efforts.

Glad you solved it and like the card

I am very new to HA, only having installed it a couple of days ago. I’ve installed HACS, the custom component and added the Bureau of Met integration. When I try and add the bom-weather-card, I get an error saying “Respository ‘davidfw1960/bom-weather-card’ exists in the store”. When I search for “weather” or “generic” or “bom” etc, in the HACS frontend there is no trace of the card. I have restarted HA, I have emptied the cache and performed a hard reload and refreshed the page multiple times. Help?

Try “Custom Animated Weather Card”.

There is an Animated Weather Card by wowgamr, but nothing else.

It is a default repo in HACS you don’t need to add the repo.

OK thanks, I guess that explains the error.

Sorry for my ignorance (L plates), so in HACS>Frontend I click on “Explore & Download Repositories”, type “Custom Animated Weather Card” (actually only typed “custom ani”) and I get “No repositories found matching your filter”.

Searching “weat”, I see these:

I’ll also note, I can’t see the custom animated weather card assets in my config (www/community or in custom_components/ or hacs/ - and its pretty empty in there as this is a fresh install of HA).

Are you sure you haven’t already added it?

Pretty sure:

Do you have HACS set for Australia only? You should leave it as worldwide

Has anyone else had issues with BOM missing the humidity sensor for a few days (also affects Feels Like temp)?

That was the culprit. Thanks for your help.

It just looks like Gosford broke at about 10am on Wednesday. It also hasn’t been recording pressure.

Yep exactly. Pressure missing for years. I was just wondering if this is temporary or permanent

Everywhere else in NSW looks normal. A few miss the humidity, but they are mostly the crappy little ones in Sydney suburbs.

I have pressure anyway via a BME280 and I can get humidity from same and then use a custom GitHub - Limych/ha-temperature-feels-like: Sensor of Temperature Feels Like for Home Assistant. for that but it’s not worth screwing with if it’s going to come back. I already use GitHub - miguelangel-nubla/home-assistant-dewpoint: Home Assistant custom component to calculate dew point using temperature and humidity sensors. for dew-point.

All good in Hobart.

The BoM techs are pretty good. They should be on to it soon.

I’m friends with one of the techs that looks after the instruments in Tas and he’s usually aware if something has gone wrong before I ask him to hurry up and fix it :slight_smile:

Maybe he can prod the Gosford tech?

There appears to be a large amount of padding here (see image below) - is this by design or has something gone awry?
