Customising the BOM Weather and lovelace - now in HACS

I do see the icons got installed in with the platinum version. but why do I not see them in Lovelace?

See also they are renamed… here is a sample of my directory

Simon @theRat see that the Thermal Comfort integration I use in HACS has the icons as a separate repo probably to get over the limitation.

@xxharry maybe redownload and you should get the icons working again

because they need to be renamed (automatic if you install the beta)

I redownloaded 0.0.2 but nothing changed. was this the version you referring to?

no the beta (enable betas on the download) 0.0.3b1 is latest I think

installed the beta, icons got renamed but Lovelace did not change

I’d guess you haven’t configured the entities to use for various parts of the card.


The circled item selects the entity to use.
There is a similar one on the daily forecast page.

clear the cache F12 and right click refresh icon clear cache and hard reload. Failing that restart Home Assistant as well

Or what Simon said hahaha

this is it. how do I get those entities? I have nothing that says “icon descriptor”

Can you open the code editor for the card and cut/paste the yaml here… that will make it easier to see what you are missing

It will be in the overview section

what is the state of that entity in dev-tools?
But the wind bearing looks to be an incorrect entity as well

there should be an entity with a state of rainy there somewhere

You should have an entity named like this (swap pearce for kalkallo)

If you don’t have it then I suspect you didn’t tick the option when installing the BoM integration. To add it, delete the BoM integration and reinstall and make sure you select the right options. Also make sure you use the same names so that they all comes back the same.

yep that got sorted. now what do I do about the forecast days down the bottom? and what would the correct windbearing entity be?

@Xxharry try this mate


When you setup the BOM integration do you remember how many days forecast you selected?
It might pay to reinstall BOM first and select everything to provide you with all the necessary entities.

where do I get the option to select the number of days forecast? I am not having issues with displaying the forecast, just the icons

Once you install it in hacs go into Devices and services then Integrations, click to install and then youll see the options.
