Definitive guide to Weather integrations 🌦

Hey folks — awesome guide! :wave:

I’ve been building a new Absolute Forecast Card for my SILAM Pollen integration — but I ended up making it work great with any weather.* source in Home Assistant. If you’re exploring cards that balance stock-like simplicity with richer layers, this might be useful.

Note: the card is bundled with the integration. For now, to use it: install the integration, add one location, and add the resource.

What it does (quickly):

  • Basic panel that mirrors the stock Weather card for visual consistency (pick one primary attribute, add draggable extras, row/column layout).
  • Extended panel with full layers: temperature & apparent temp, precipitation (probability + amount), UV index, wind (speed/gust/direction), cloud cover, humidity, dew point, pressure — plus a compact meteo-risk strip.
  • Allergen-level forecasts (SILAM Pollen integration), trend icons, and tap-for-details to open the allergen’s sensor.
  • Scrollable forecast slots, configurable count.
  • Local JS module, no CDN.

If you do use SILAM, the forecast row can show the pollen index icon + state; for other weather integrations the card behaves like the stock card — with more depth when you want it.

Add once: Settings → Dashboards → Resources → Add →
URL: /local/absolute-forecast-card.js → Resource type: JavaScript Module
