Platform not found: camera.bom

Configuration

Hi all. Maybe I might be on the wrong track but listening to the last Home Assistant podcast it mentioned the radar loop from the BOM here in Australia.

I had a play and added it to the system etc but I keep getting

Platform not found: camera.bom

I am ysing Hassio on a RPI. I have the weather part from the BOM working

Have you created the camera entity as per the docs? What config do you have? It’s rather hard to help without knowing what you entered…

Yeah did that as per the docs. I have another camera set up and it works. Have the bom part set up for both weather and sensor etc. Checked the config with the config generator and get Configuration invalidCHECK CONFIG

Platform not found: camera.bom
That part in the config

and as a test I copied the example after my location one threw and error

What version of home assistant are you running. This was added in 0.92.

Thanks Tom. That may be the issue… I will check when I get back next week.

Working fine for me on 0.92.0. I was previously using a custom component.

Yes I did a fresh install and thought it was the latest version but as suggested above I have a feeling its not. Downloaded it from the site but will check when I am home. Its sort of just a side project as I rewrite my node-red stuff. Heard about it on the podcast and though I would try it.

Thanks everyone

Yes the version was it. As I downloaded the new one 2 days ago I had assumed it was the new one but it was 91.4.

Hi all,
having similar problem with invalid config sensor: bom . Using a RPI running Hasbian with home assistant 92.1 . I have also tried the bom camera platform with the same result . Below is the code i’m using which is from the example listed . Any suggestions?
sensor:
- platform: bom
monitored_conditions:
- apparent_t
- cloud
- cloud_base_m
- cloud_oktas
- cloud_type_id
- cloud_type
- delta_t
- gust_kmh
- gust_kt
- air_temp
- dewpt
- local_date_time
- local_date_time_full
- press
- press_qnh
- press_msl
- press_tend
- rain_trace
- rel_hum
- sea_state
- swell_dir_worded
- swell_height
- swell_period
- vis_km
- weather
- wind_dir
- wind_spd_kmh
- wind_spd_kt

Please format your pasted code correctly. Spacing is important.

You may also have more luck if you supply the station id (as outlined on the sensors page) rather than relying on it automatically trying to find the nearest station from the lat/lon supplied in your configuration.
e.g.

- platform: bom
  station: IDT60901.94970
  name: Hobart
  monitored_conditions:
  - apparent_t
  - gust_kt
  - air_temp

@tom_l how do you add that pic of the config animation? I am constantly telling people this, including in this thread. The animation would be good to add.

13

Thanks for the replies , yes I did try to format correctly for this post but just couldn’t get it right , the code i used is formatted correctly . I will have another go next time and I do appreciate the need to do so.

I did try the station ID but still the same issue , will give it another go, and if not will come back with the correct code format etc .

      - cloud
      - cloud_base_m

      - vis_km
      - weather

      - wind_spd_kt``

Ok , added station ID but still showing “invalid Config”

17

What version of HA are you running?

Also the name is not the station.

station
    (string)(Optional)The station ID string as identified from the BOM website.

    Default value: If not given, defaults to the closest station based on location data in configuration.yaml.

name
    (string)(Optional)The name you would like to give to the weather station.
18

HA is version 92.1

Here is what I have now , still "Invalid Config"
sensor:
      - platform: bom
        station: IDT60901.94970
        name: Hobart
        monitored_conditions:
        - apparent_t
        - gust_kt
        - air_temp

Indenting is all wrong
