Customising the BOM Weather and lovelace - now in HACS

Yeah Iā€™ve got that one I want 0-360Ā° if it exists. If not I wont bother trying to set up the integration again.

yeah They donā€™t provide degrees

Cool. template sensor it is.

It is not in the data provided by the api. You get the 16 different directions or CALM.

Thanks. I can work with that.

You have broken the yaml by manually editing it. The first line starts with a capital letter, it needs to be lower case.

Thanks! I canā€™t believe I missed that and itā€™s strange because I didnā€™t type that in, it was pulled across just from a copy/pasteā€¦ anyway, all fixed now.

Awesome work on this card :+1:

Spell checkers can be a bitch. It was likely your editor that did it

@cris1410 You were able to use OpenWeather for everything? I could only get certain sensors to work. The rest I had to use NWS, which isnā€™t as accurate for my location, so itā€™d be great if I could do 100% OpenWeather.

for weather itā€™s always crystal ball things.

in open weather there is Forecast Wind speed, but not an entity by dayā€¦

as Iā€™m in Belgium, I also use Buienradar integration that have it
Buienradar_Wind_speed_1d
Buienradar_Wind_speed_2d
Buienradar_Wind_speed_3d
Buienradar_Wind_speed_4d
Buienradar_Wind_speed_5d

I took the information directly and create a small vue on it but itā€™s a bit huge compare to your custom card.

Wind is something I will probably add as something that can optionally be enabled. Iā€™ll be honest and say I am very skeptical of the quality usefulness of wind forecasts that give a single direction and speed for an entire day considering how variable wind actually is. It can be so different for different parts of the day. It is kind of like just saying the temperate will be 18 without any other info (is that a max/min/average?).
The way the Australian bureau does it is so much better imho. They provide it as part of a description for the day.

Itā€™s a pity there doesnā€™t seem to be an integration that provide this sort of text for Europe.

hahahaha. Voodoo like all forecasts 2 days or more away only moreso for this

Simon,

regarding these

Iā€™d like to put some space between the UOM and the values. The values seem to be .slot-text and the unit .unit. Can I add a margin-left to the UOM using card-mod? As always card-mod is not cooperating for me.

totally agree, itā€™s not accurate at all.

we put solar canvas at home and I was hoping to monitor the wind in case we need to remove them

You can do anything with card-mod, you just need to identify what class to target.

There is already an issue for this, but I am really struggling with figuring it out. I have a test server set up to pretend to be in Amsterdam. Using 4 different weather integrations and the core forecast card I donā€™t get any consistent information.


They canā€™t even agree on the current temperature, but whatā€™s worse is that they canā€™t even agree on what day it is.
There are also potential timezone issues between my browser and the server (I am not changing my computers timezone as that will completely mess with things).

I thought it was .slot-text and .unit but they are common to all slots (which is fine) But I canā€™t seem to target them correctly

You should be able to just target .unit and add padding-left. You will probably also need to do the same to .unit-temp-small

I didnā€™t see that class when I was in the console
