Platinum Weather Card support

After actully getting this setup, after I save the card, it doesn’t actually show. If i go back to to edit it, the preview on the right is blank.

Then something is wrong with the setup. Unfortunately without any more info, it’s hard to say what. Could you tell us a bit about the weather provider you are using and perhaps some screenshots of the various setting screens?

Here is the code for the card after my customizations:

card_config_version: 8
entity_apparent_temp: sensor.home_realfeel_temperature
entity_forecast_icon: weather.home_2
entity_humidity: weather.home_2
entity_pop: weather.home_2
entity_pos: weather.home_2
entity_summary: weather.home_2
entity_sun: sun.sun
entity_temperature: weather.home_2
entity_uv_alert_summary: sensor.home_uv_index
section_order:
  - overview
  - extended
  - slots
  - daily_forecast
show_section_daily_forecast: false
show_section_extended: false
slot_l1: pop
slot_l2: uv_summary
slot_l3: sun_next

slot_r3: sun_following
slot_r4: remove
slot_r5: remove
slot_r6: remove
slot_r7: remove
slot_r8: remove
type: custom:platinum-weather-card

I was using weather.home_2 for precipitation which caused the entire card to go blank. If i switched it to sensor.home_precipitation it showed correctly. I am using the Accuweather integration.

Your use of weather.home_2 looks wrong. Each entity should be a different sensor.

Some of my config:

card_config_version: 8
daily_extended_forecast_days: 7
daily_forecast_days: 7
daily_forecast_layout: horizontal
entity_apparent_temp: sensor.sydney_olympic_park_temp_feels_like
entity_extended: sensor.pymble_extended_text_0
entity_fire_danger: sensor.pymble_fire_danger_0
entity_forecast_icon: sensor.pymble_icon_descriptor_0
entity_forecast_icon_1: sensor.pymble_icon_descriptor_1
entity_forecast_max: sensor.bom_today_max
entity_forecast_max_1: sensor.pymble_temp_max_1
entity_forecast_min: sensor.bom_today_min
entity_forecast_min_1: sensor.pymble_temp_min_1
entity_humidity: sensor.sydney_olympic_park_humidity
entity_pop: sensor.pymble_rain_chance_0
entity_pop_1: sensor.pymble_rain_chance_1

No. Not if you are using the weather entity. The card is smart enough to get the correct attributes

ah - I take it back then.

Was this enough information or should I provide something else?

Try the new version 1.0.4. I expect the card will provide info about some additional config error(s) after the update.

Hi guys. Is it possible to configure this card to not round temperature? E.g. display 0.4°C and not 0 °C instead?

Clear cache worked for me.

Yes its a config option

I updated this but I did not see any config errors. It still produced a blank card if I chose my weather.home_2 entity

Make sure you have cleared your cache after the update. If that doesn’t work, please create an issue on the repo so I can gather all the info in one place.

Can someone please explain how to configure the forecast in YAML? Or just provide a sample YAML configuration (which is really missing on the Github page). Thank you!

Ok. Figured out the config in YAML myself. If anyone is interested, I can share the code. However, I still have a problem with the placement of the large weather icon in the overview section. Is there any way to adjust the placement so that the icon is a bit higher? I was using the BOM weather card and that one had a parameter for adjusting the placement of the large icon. However, with the platinum weather card this parameter no longer works. Any help would be appreciated!

I’m interested, mine in yaml is still missing stuff.

Here is my YAML code:

I just noticed your post. The NWS API was spotty at the end of December, but it’s been working reasonably well since. There are still issues, but they’re getting attention. Have you been able to get it working?

FYI, I’ve posted a minor revision to my original sensor template file.

Hi,
openweathermap provides wind speeds in m/s, but the card shows the values with km/h, without converting them. I didn’t find any option to configure this.
