Trying to set up the met office sensor. I see from the documents there are 13 sensors when I add the integration through the UI it says devices 13 but I can only see 6 when selected.
I see the documentation says they are not all enabled as default.
How can I enable the other sensors? What am I missing?
If you go to entities section of the configuration, in the top right you’ll see 3 bars that look a little like a funnel, click on that and select “show disabled entities” then you can select them and enable them. I don’t know why they’re not all enabled by default, it took me a while to work out how to enable them!
I had the same problem: it was only when I tried to create a humidity template sensor reading from the attribute and then had it show up as sensor.humidity_2 that I realised what was going on…
All working now thanks.
Thanks @GordonTGopher for the tip to reveal the additional sensors.
My understanding of the DataPointAPI is that it provides a 5 day forecast in 3 hourly segments. However the sensors in HA show only the current weather situation. Do you know how we can display the future weather? Having the current weather state predicted by the Met Office when I can look out of the window seems unnecessary duplication.
TIA
I’m not sure but I don’t think it’s possible. I’ve just had a look at Github and discovered this https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/35196 so it looks like it’s being worked on. I’ll try and track down the PR mentioned to see what progress has been made.
