How do you generate the API key on the accuweather site?
Do you have to create an app? if so which details do you need to use? If not where do you find your API key? Iāve poked around there after creating an account and I donāt find any API key.
Iām going to assume that you need to add this as a āsensorā in HA? What are the configuration variables required in HA to get this running? Do you use config flow or yaml?
Yes, you have to create an app on the AccuWeather developer site.
The integration uses config_flow so you have to go to Configuration -> Integration -> + sign and choose AccuWeather.
I managed to sucessfully install HACS on my HA without help, just by searching the internet and following the documentation, but I canāt find any simple instructions on how to add a custom repository.
Can you please share some url or doc with instructions on how to create a custom repository with your integration?
This integration is in beta stage. If you canāt install it, I donāt think you should use it. You have been warned Go to HACS -> Integrations -> three dot menu -> custom repositories.
Hi,
Despite being a new noob for hacs, I looked at the docs and installed the integration
All seems to work OK, at least for the first 10 minutes
The only comment I have so far is that I seem to have wind āgust speedā but not just wind āspeedā.
It is a shame the āminutelyā data is not available ( yeah, different API key).
Yes, I see now. I sort of knew about attributes but have only used sensors.
Maybe Iām mistaken, but I think the dark sky stuff give sensors for everything. I think you might get a lot of confused questions from noobies like me and sensors would be better than attributes.
In any case, good work and looking forward to seeing this as a standard integration.
New integrations must use valid entity types. For example, weather integration has to use weather entity, air quality integration, air_quality entity, etc.
