DarkSky temperature high/low sensors are not working

Third party integrations

Hi guys,

I’m trying to setup the DarkSky sensors and I’m using this in my config:

  - platform: darksky
    api_key: 
    monitored_conditions:
      - summary
      - precip_type
      - precip_intensity
      - precip_probability
      - precip_accumulation
      - temperature
      - apparent_temperature
      - dew_point
      - wind_speed
      - wind_bearing
      - cloud_cover
      - humidity
      - pressure
      - visibility
      - ozone
      - minutely_summary
      - hourly_summary
      - daily_summary
      - temperature_high
      - temperature_low
      - apparent_temperature_high
      - apparent_temperature_low
      - precip_intensity_max
      - uv_index

And my sensors:

weather_temperature:
  name: "Temperature"
  entities:
    - sensor.dark_sky_temperature
    - sensor.dark_sky_temperature_high
    - sensor.dark_sky_temperature_low
    - sensor.dark_sky_apparent_temperature
    - sensor.dark_sky_apparent_temperature_high
    - sensor.dark_sky_apparent_temperature_low

but for some reason those sensors aren’t showing, log files say nothing about those sensors, yet they don’t show up on my dashboard. This applies for dark_sky_temperature_high, dark_sky_apparent_temperature, dark_sky_apparent_temperature_high and dark_sky_apparent_temperature_low.

I’m I using the wrong syntax for those?

high is daytime_high_temperature
low is overnight_low_temperature

3

Are you sure? I can’t really make that out from the code here or docs here.

4

Yes
sensor.dark_sky_daytime_high_temperature
sensor.dark_sky_overnight_low_temperature

With those monitored conditions, if you look in the dev tools > states you will see all the darksky sensors it creates

Interesting! I does work yes!

Updated my config to:

weather_temperature:
  name: "Temperature"
  entities:
    - sensor.dark_sky_temperature
    - sensor.dark_sky_daytime_high_temperature
    - sensor.dark_sky_overnight_low_temperature
    - sensor.dark_sky_apparent_temperature
    - sensor.dark_sky_apparent_temperature_high
    - sensor.dark_sky_apparent_temperature_low
    - sensor.dark_sky_daytime_high_apparent_temperature
    - sensor.dark_sky_overnight_low_apparent_temperature

And they show now, thanks!

Running .83.2, I’ve stopped getting high and low temps. I was using temperature_high/temperature_low for monitored_conditions.

As recommended above, I tried daytime_high_temperature/overnight_low_temperature but that causes an error in HA saying that those are invalid conditions.

Is anyone using .83.2 and still getting highs/lows? Didn’t see anything in breaking changes.

I had the same issues. With guidance from another user here, I modified my .yaml files as follows:

note the _0 appended to the sensor entity names you used to have. The 0 throughout means today.

Thanks. The “forecast” option was what I was missing. Once I added that, I started getting the highs/lows with the _0 suffix. Thanks.

That was a change in 0.83 adding the 0. It pays to read the release notes!

Been kicking myself over that at lunch, as Wunderground keeps failing to get data.
