Displaying current and tomorrow's weather?

Configuration
1

Hi there, I’ve just started with Home Assistant and so far I’m really liking it (coming from Openhab). I wanted to ask, I see that the OpenWeatherMap has a current and forecast option, how do I use/display both of these?

Use forecast: 1 to display the forecast and monitored_conditions: for the current data.

Thanks, that’s what I thought, but I don’t quite know how to achieve it. Here is my sensors.yaml

- platform: forecast
  api_key: xxx
  monitored_conditions:
    - summary
    - precip_type
    - precip_intensity
    - precip_probability
    - temperature
    - wind_speed
    - cloud_cover
    - humidity
    - visibility

- platform: openweathermap
  api_key: xxx
  forecast: 1
  monitored_conditions:
    - weather
    - temperature
    - wind_speed
    - humidity
    - pressure
    - clouds
    - rain
    - snow

- platform: time_date
  display_options:
    - "date_time"

Which I call from configuration.yaml like sensor: !include devices/sensors.yaml

The forecast of OWM will give you only the forecast of the weather condition in three hours and not the forecast of all monitored_conditions:.

I guess that you are looking for the full forecast, if so, please open a feature request.

OK I understand now, let me open a feature request, in fact more than a 1 day forecast would also be a great feature. I think forecast.io and OWM provide around that.

Oh, and something I’ve forgot to say earlier, thanks to everyone involved in Home Assistant, it’s looking to be a fantastic home automation product!

I’d be really keen to see more on the forecast part. For example if the washing machine has been on and rain is forecast the laundry will be dried inside the house, I therefore would like the heating to come on.
