Dutch precipitation forecast based on buienradar.nl

No problem; you were helping indeed! I now see where your confusion came from…

to explain:
If you enable, for example, the monitored condition ‘windforce’, as you did in your example, a new sensor will be added to HA which will get the name ‘sensor.br_wind_force’; this is, because I use the displayname of the monitored condition to build the sensor’s name (‘Wind Force’ in your screenshot, thus resulting in a name of ‘br Wind Force’).

HA is replacing the spaces in this name and setting it to lower case, thus resulting in the sensors name of ‘sensor.br_wind_force’. If you have set a name of your sensor, you could end up with a sensor name of ‘sensor.thuis_wind_force’ or ‘sensor.weather_wind_force’…

I now see this is confusing, and also not in line with the documentation… (it states ‘sensor.br_[monitored_condition]’)

I will fix the docu to match the current situation, so the examples actually work…
