Please add wind gust sensor into OpenWeatherMaps integration.
This looks really simple because OpenWeatherMaps already return it in response (gust) with wind speed (speed) which is already implemented as sensor.openweathermap_wind_speed
Update:
Temporary solution use rest sensor defined like this (replace {param} with actual values):
- platform: rest
resource: https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?lat={lat}&lon={lon}&appid={API key}
name: OpenWeatherMap Wind gust
value_template: '{{ value_json.wind.gust }}'
unit_of_measurement: m/s
scan_interval: 300 # Update every 5 min = 300 sec
+1 from me, this is especially helpful as an additional sensor to protect my venetian blinds.
Also please include the 1 hour forecast for this attribute and make the forecast sensors configurable (i.e.setting for which hour or day the forecarst sensors are populated).
btw: small correction to your workaround: the Attribute is wind_gust.
Where {lat} your location latitude, {lon} longitude, {API key} your OpenWeatherMaps API key.
When you get data in json, check that it’s has wind section, it’s can be missed if weather stations around your location doesn’t have wind sensors.
