I signed up for a free plan and added my Secret Key into the ClimaCell integration in Home Assistant but it seems that Pollen is either not supported in my area or not supported by the free plan any longer. Can someone please confirm?
Its in the disabled entities, just enable them and away you go

Hello everybody,
in the end I created a card myself.
The result seems pleasant to me.
Below you will find the yaml code to create the card.

If I use the V4 api I get unsupported messages like this:
"type":"Time Bounded Field","message":"The following field is not supported for a time range: 'weedIndex'"
This is my test curl:
curl --request GET --url
‘https://api.tomorrow.io/v4/timelines?location=xxxx,xxxx×teps=1d&units=metric&apikey=xxxxxx&fields=weedIndex’
{“data”:{“timelines”:[{“timestep”:“1d”,“endTime”:“2022-05-23T04:00:00Z”,“startTime”:“2022-05-18T04:00:00Z”,“intervals”:[{“startTime”:“2022-05-18T04:00:00Z”,“values”:{“weedIndex”:0}},{“startTime”:“2022-05-19T04:00:00Z”,“values”:{“weedIndex”:0}},{“startTime”:“2022-05-20T04:00:00Z”,“values”:{“weedIndex”:0}},{“startTime”:“2022-05-21T04:00:00Z”,“values”:{“weedIndex”:0}},{“startTime”:“2022-05-22T04:00:00Z”,“values”:{“weedIndex”:0}},{“startTime”:“2022-05-23T04:00:00Z”,“values”:{“weedIndex”:0}}]}]},“warnings”:[{“code”:246001,“type”:“Time Bounded Field”,“message”:“The following field is not supported for a time range: ‘weedIndex’”,“meta”:{“field”:“weedIndex”,“from”:“2022-05-18T02:30:00Z”,“to”:“2022-05-23T09:36:00Z”}}]}%
From documentation:
In any cases where a field is not available in a requested timestep, the request will result in a
Timestep Bounded Fieldwarning.[…] Data availability beyond -6H in the past and beyond 4.5 days in the future is available for paid plans as an add-on only.
May 23rd goes beyond 4.5 days. Do you have a paid plan?
Got this working today. Configured for my home address. Such a shame:

Try again now? My integration has been working fine up until this morning - appears to be some sort of widespread CDN / Cloudflare issue. I’ve just started to receive correct pollen data again in my dashboard so hopefully it’s OK again now…
This looks awesome and just what what I’m ater, however I’ve tinkered and can’t find where to add rest sensor etc (only been playing with HA for a week)
Anybody willing to lay out step by step process for getting this into HA? I’ve already signed up for an account with tomorrow.io

@e4kenndr There’s an official integration for Tomorrow.io since 2022.4, so I think you might not have to use rest sensors:
Tomorrow.io - Home Assistant
It might be that the rest sensors provide more detailed information than the official integration, I’ve not done a data comparison. If you do end up wanting to use a custom REST sensor, you can find some documentation here: RESTful Sensor - Home Assistant
I had a quick look and its missing the forecast values which is what I’m specifically interested in with the pollen counts specifically. I have installed the service to see what other features it offers. Thanks for sharing…
I used the Tomorrow.io rest sensors for a while but found the Accuweather HA integration has pollen forecasts so I now use that.
I tried the Accuweather integration and couldn’t find the pollen forecasts you’re referring to. Did you do anything in particular when setting it up?
UPDATE: I restarted my instance and went back to the integraiton and there are a ton of entities created now…They appeared as I activated the Weather Forecast checkbox under Options of the integration. Prior to this I only had around 20 something entities.
Yes there are 109 entities, most of mine were disabled on install, I just use the pollen 0d and 1d forecasts (today and tomorrow)

I was reading the API documentation and they describe the thresholds between 0-6 - so I put the three colours across those ranges. It looks as though the range is much larger, so anything above 6 will show as blue. You will needto tweak the range’s associated with the colours…I haven’t quite figured it out myself.

Here’s my revised version.
I used Pollen Count – find pollen levels near me | Kleenex to get the values of severity.
I changed the icon-colour, bar-card min/max and positions.
For those adding to your own dashboard, you’ll need to make a “toggle” (boolean) helper to enable the drop down graphs. Link to Helpers – My Home Assistant (home-assistant.io)
Edit: 2022-08-23 20:20 BST - Fixed “high” values appearing as blue (missing “to:” value - set to 999 so all high values are red.)

Hay, can you please help with the code/app needed to get the values from Kleenex please?
Thanks for your amazing work.
