Templating weather sensor from Weather Underground entity

Configuration
1

Hey there, from my understanding to be able to use weather underground as source for the weather cards in lovelace one has to convert it to a weather sensor using templating, right?

The basics are described here:

But what about the details? I couldn’t find a proper example :frowning:
I could find some sort of similar approach here: Create daily forecast from hourly forecast using the template weather platform

My problem is the forecast-array or list, the other are easy and work straight forward.

But I fail on providing the forecast list from combining the single forecast entities of wupws to a list which is consumed by the forecast_template…I tired a bit, but have no clue how to achieve this

    forecast_template: >-

Help is very much appreciated :slight_smile:

wow, I managed it:

weather:
  - platform: template
    name: WUnderground Template
    temperature_template: "{{ states('sensor.wupws_temp') | float }}"
    humidity_template: "{{ states('sensor.wupws_humidity') | float }}"
    pressure_template: "{{ states('sensor.wupws_pressure') | int }}"
    wind_speed_template: "{{ states('sensor.wupws_windspeed') | float }}"
    wind_bearing_template: "{{ states('sensor.wupws_winddir') | float }}"
    attribution_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.wupws_temp', 'attribution') }}"

    condition_template: >-

      {% set condition_id = state_attr('sensor.wupws_weather_1d', 'entity_picture') | regex_replace(find='/local/wupws_icons/', replace='', ignorecase=False) | regex_replace(find='.png', replace='', ignorecase=False) | int(0) %}

      {% if condition_id in [-1] -%}
        dummy
      {% elif condition_id in [-2] -%}
        dummy
      {%- else -%}
        unknown
      {%- endif %}


    # forecast_template: "{{ state_attr('weather.dwd_weather_muenster_zentrum', 'forecast') }}"
    forecast_template: >-
      [
        {
          {% set dat = now() + timedelta( days = 0 ) %}
          "datetime": "{{ dat.strftime("%Y-%m-%dT00:00:00Z") }}",
          "temperature": {{ states('sensor.wupws_temp_high_1d') }},
          "templow": {{ states('sensor.wupws_temp_low_1d') }},
          "precipitation": {{ states('sensor.wupws_precip_1d') }},
          "precipitation_probability": {{ states('sensor.wupws_precip_chance_1d') }},
          "wind_speed": {{ states('sensor.wupws_wind_1d') }},
        },
        {
          {% set dat = now() + timedelta( days = 1 ) %}
          "datetime": "{{ dat.strftime("%Y-%m-%dT00:00:00Z") }}",
          "temperature": {{ states('sensor.wupws_temp_high_2d') }},
          "templow": {{ states('sensor.wupws_temp_low_2d') }},
          "precipitation": {{ states('sensor.wupws_precip_2d') }},
          "precipitation_probability": {{ states('sensor.wupws_precip_chance_2d') }},
          "wind_speed": {{ states('sensor.wupws_wind_2d') }},
        },
        {
          {% set dat = now() + timedelta( days = 2 ) %}
          "datetime": "{{ dat.strftime("%Y-%m-%dT00:00:00Z") }}",
          "temperature": {{ states('sensor.wupws_temp_high_3d') }},
          "templow": {{ states('sensor.wupws_temp_low_3d') }},
          "precipitation": {{ states('sensor.wupws_precip_3d') }},
          "precipitation_probability": {{ states('sensor.wupws_precip_chance_3d') }},
          "wind_speed": {{ states('sensor.wupws_wind_3d') }},
        }
      ]

I just have to map the condition coming from the entity_picture :slight_smile:

P.S.: corresponding WU sensor looks like this:

That is what I’m looking for as well :slight_smile:
Have you ever got it working with icons etc as it doesn’t work as per your example
