Hi everyone,
I installed and configured the Platinum Card with the appropriate sensors for 3-day forecasts. But what do I need to configure to get hourly forecasts for these 3 days?
I already have the sensors with the forecast for each hour of these 3 days, but I don’t know where to configure them.
Umm… I don’t think PWC has any support for hourly forecasts.
Okay, thanks…I didn’t realize!
At this point I need another card that does this.
Can someone explain to me how the icons work?
How are the icons associated with weather conditions?
For example, when does the “scattered-thunderstorm” icon appear? What state should the sensor be in?
I’m answering myself, this is what I was looking for, matching “status” “icon name”
mostly_sunny': cloudy-1-${this.dayOrNight}
'clear': clear-${this.dayOrNight}
'clear_day': `clear-day`;
'partlycloudy': `cloudy-2-${this.dayOrNight}`
'haze': `haze-${this.dayOrNight}`
'frost': `frost-${this.dayOrNight}`
'light_rain':`rainy-2`
'windy': `wind`
'foggy': `fog-${this.dayOrNight}`
'shower': `rainy-1-${this.dayOrNight}`
'rainy': `rainy-3`
'dusty': `dust`;
'snowy': `snowy-3`
'snowyrainy': snow-and-sleet-mix`
'stormy': `scattered-thunderstorms-${this.dayOrNight}`
'light_shower': `rainy-1-${this.dayOrNight}`
'pouring': `rainy-2-${this.dayOrNight}`
'tropicalcyclone': `tropical-storm`
'clear_night': clear-night`;
'sleet': `rain-and-sleet-mix`;
'partly_cloudy_day': `cloudy-1-day`;
'partly_cloudy_night': `cloudy-1-night`;
'hail': `hail`;
'thunderstorm': `isolated-thunderstorms-${this.dayOrNight}`
'windy_variant': `wind`;
But now I have another question…everything works, but the icons don’t distinguish between day and night…
Why?
I tried an old BOM card and it works there… Can anyone help me?
You probably need to configure (I think in YAML mode): entity_sun: sun.sun
sun.sun entity should come with your HA by default.
The code seems to use it to determine day or night (and thus the day/night icon)
get dayOrNight(): string {
const transformDayNight = { "below_horizon": "night", "above_horizon": "day", };
return this._config.entity_sun && this.hass.states[this._config.entity_sun] !== undefined ? transformDayNight[this.hass.st
ates[this._config.entity_sun].state] : 'day';
}
I actually already have this sun.sun entity and it seems to work correctly.
If I force some states by adding -night, the icon appears correctly, so the day/night automatic switch doesn’t work.
However, I notice that the status of sun.sun is “sotto l’orizzonte” which is translated into Italian…I don’t know if I can see it like this but that could be the problem.
I don’t know HA well enough to know how the language translation of an entity’s state is handled when presenting it to a card like PWC, but yes, this is likely the problem.
You could perhaps create an template entity and use sun.sun to derive the template entity’s state in English, and then change the PWC card config to use the template entity rather than sun.sun.
If the horizontal Daily Forecast is set, to see the forecast summary, the “Entity Forecast Summery 1” sensor must be set. However, without using attributes, only 255 characters are available.
Isn’t it possible to use an attribute in this entity as well?
Thanks
Looking at the PWC code, I don’t see any other options.
Before HA devs changed the architecture of a “weather entity” a few years ago, PWC supported using the forecast’s detailed_description attribute (instead of the “Entity Forecast Summary”) and as an attribute, as you mentioned, it could support more text.
If you use the vertical setting, the “Entity Extended Forecast” field allows the use of the attribute…I wonder why the possibility of using an attribute has not been included in the horizontal version…
New to Dashboard and charts…
Have installed BOM Integration: GitHub - bremor/bureau_of_meteorology: Custom component for retrieving weather information from the Bureau of Meteorology.
It has created 151 entities… 0 is today and goes on for each day forecast I believe

Can someone plz help me build a weather dashboard / platinum card the above data?
Would really appreciate it…
Thanks
Hi,
Does anyone happen to know how you pull in the forecast information from the Met Office. I have an API key, and the met office integration is working. But can not find the entities that drive the Platinum weather card forcast
Does anyone now the card mod text to adjust the main line of current conditions (ie Sunny, Cloudy)
As far as i can tell it should be forecast-text but it doesnt do anything.
FYI,
rudizl has made a fork (of my fork) of the platinum weather card (discussed here) and will be maintaining it on his repository. He has already started making fixes and features adds:
The original author, Makin-Things, has offered to hand this over (but I think TBD).
Hey folks, quick update if you're using Platinum Weather Card
The card has been renamed to Platinum Weather Card Plus Charts and moved to a new repo — it made sense to have it in one place, since it's a mashup of Platinum Weather Card and Weather Chart Card, both of which haven't seen active development in a while.
Here's what's in the current release (v2.0.1):
Charts section — temperature lines (max/min) + precipitation bars rendered directly below the daily forecast, each toggleable independently from the editor
Hover tooltips — hover over any day in the forecast strip or the chart and you get a popup with weather description, max/min (color-coded), precipitation, and wind. Same content in both places
Icon packs — built-in animated SVG, Meteocons Fill/Line (MIT, loaded from CDN), amCharts Weather Icons, or a custom path
Locale dropdown — BG, DE, EN, ES, FR and 8 more languages, picked from the editor
HA 2026.5/2026.6 compatible — no broken switches or inputs
Install via HACS as a custom repository:
And the best part — a PR has been submitted to the official HACS default store, so if it gets approved you'll be able to install it directly without adding a custom repo. Processing takes months, but at least it's in the queue 
If anything breaks or you have ideas, drop a comment here or open an issue on GitHub.
Hi, this is fixed in v2.0.2 of the fork I'm maintaining — the card now uses sun.sun's elevation attribute instead of the state string, so it works correctly regardless of HA language.
Hi all,
v2.1.0 is out, and the headline feature is one I haven’t seen built into a general-purpose weather card before:
Local weather forecast, computed from your own weather station. If you have pressure, wind direction and wind speed sensors, the card can now generate a short forecast text entirely locally — no forecast provider, no internet. It implements the Zambretti forecaster, an algorithm from 1915 that reads barometric pressure, its trend, wind direction and season, and is surprisingly good at short-term forecasting (roughly 90% accuracy for the next 12 hours).
There are dedicated Zambretti integrations for HA that do this with their own companion cards — the difference here is that there’s nothing to install or configure beyond the card you may already be using: it’s a toggle in the card editor, computed in the frontend from the sensors the card already knows about.
There’s a compact mode (“Fairly fine, showers likely”) and a verbose one (“Showers at first, then the weather will improve. The pressure is rising.”). Unit conversion, sea-level correction for absolute-pressure sensors, and smoothing for stations that report every few seconds are all handled. The 26 forecast texts are translated into the card’s 13 languages.
Also in this release:
- Barometric pressure trend indicator — a colored arrow (rising/steady/falling) next to the pressure value, driven by a derivative helper or any trend sensor
- Wind bearing as a rotating arrow instead of compass text (optional)
- Optional date next to the day name in the daily forecast
- Editor cleanup — real toggle switches, consistent layout, fully translated
Full changelog and setup docs in the README.
One request: most non-English translations are machine-generated, and weather phrasing is exactly the kind of thing that sounds off to native speakers. If you can spare ten minutes for your language: Translations: native speakers wanted. A PR or just a comment with corrections — either works.
I decided to create a separate post here Platinum Weather Card Plus Charts — charts, local Zambretti forecast from your own station, 13 languages - Configuration / Frontend - Home Assistant Community. You are welcome to join the discussion and share your thoughts and ideas.
Update for anyone following along: the fork is now in the HACS default store, so it installs like any other card — no custom repository needed. Search for “Platinum Weather Card Plus Charts” in HACS → Frontend.
