Just starting to tinker with HAdashboard. However, cannot install dark sky anymore. Are there any other alternatives?
I’ve installed both NWS and OpenWeatherMap. You can also use pre-installed Met.No…
Thank you for your reply.
I added the NWS APIand am defining the entity as:
- weather.sv_daynight
However, I get this error:
entity not found: sensor.dark_sky_precip_1d
Is there a specific way to define the weather in the dash file?
What dash file?
dash file in appdaemon:
- light.family_room_lights (2x1), switch.shelly_shsw_25_68d173_1 (2x1)
- weather.sv_daynight
OreoP, did you ever find a solution to this? Seems like there would be a lot of information on this, but I’m struggling to find anything.
Try out open weather map.
I’m having a similar issue (originally using met.no), so have signed up for OpenWeatherMap. (Note: It can take a few hours for the API key to activate after signing up - took me a while to figure this out). After some messing around and looking at some old threads, I ended up with this (it’s still not correct, but it’s a start):
weather:
widget_type: weather
title: Today
show_forecast: 1
prefer_icons: 1
forecast_title: Tomorrow
sensors:
icon: sensor.openweathermap_condition
temperature: sensor.openweathermap_temperature
apparent_temperature: ""
humidity: sensor.openweathermap_humidity
precip_probability: ""
precip_intensity: sensor.openweathermap_forecast_condition
precip_type: sensor.openweathermap_condition
pressure: sensor.openweathermap_pressure
wind_speed: sensor.openweathermap_wind_speed
wind_bearing: sensor.openweathermap_wind_bearing
forecast_icon: sensor.openweathermap_forecast_condition
forecast_temperature_min: sensor.openweathermap_forecast_temperature_low
forecast_temperature_max: sensor.openweathermap_forecast_temperature
forecast_precip_probability: sensor.openweathermap_forecast_condition
forecast_precip_type: sensor.openweathermap_forecast_condition
At least it gets the control without errors.
I would be curious as to the correct way to access the nested attributes that met.no has, looking at the returned JSON, it gives:

But for the life of me I can’t figure out how to access the elements in the “forecast” list. Nor, for weather, how to access any attributes.
I have figured out that if I use a sensor widget, I can access a “top level” attribute by appending it to the end, eg:
thingy:
widget_type: sensor
entity: weather.home.temperature
But that does not work to go deeper (it just gives the JS text representation of a list of objects). For example, it would be good if weather.home.forecast.0.temperature or weather.home.forecast[0].temperature or something worked, including on the weather widget.
Maybe it needs a custom widget like this? https://github.com/ragingcomputer/hadashboard-custom_widgets---nws-day-night
(I would have thought that there was one out there for met.no, but I can’t find it if it does exist)
Thats pretty much what I put together as well. Only difference is that I used weatherbit for the apparent temperature.
apparent_temperature: sensor.weatherbit_apparent_temperature
The NWS widget is fine, but I have issues with the NWS integration. It just flakes out sometimes and then the NWS widget is broken and messes up the entire dashboard.
