Create sensors for each hour.
For example like this

template:
  - trigger:
      - platform: time_pattern
        hours: /1
    action:
      - service: weather.get_forecast
        target:
          entity_id: weather.forecast_testy
        data:
          type: hourly
        response_variable: forecast
    sensor:
      - name: Počasí teplota hodinově 1
        unique_id: teplota_pocasi_hodina_1
        state: "{{ forecast.forecast[0].temperature }}"
      - name: Počasí teplota hodinově 2
        unique_id: teplota_pocasi_hodina_2
        state: "{{ forecast.forecast[1].temperature }}"
      - name: Počasí teplota hodinově 3
        .................
        ....................

@eemceebee and @Zinken
You both are caught in a change that was introduced with the last update. It is the change to eliminate the forecast attributes out of the weather entity to its own entity (forecast attribute vs forecast entity).

There are numerous topics about this, here is a link to one of my posts, with a try to explain that a little. Take a look at that post, and the whole topic as well.

[PETITION] Don't delete the forecast attribute

I didn’t either. That’s why I made some dumb posts above, that I meanwhile deleted, and am still thinking about, if an explicit excuse is necessary to some people… Moving on, I’m sorry, but in the last months I get more often the feeling, people are just here to troll, so I ask directly, to know where I stand. Sorry, if this came of rude or offensive. Wasn’t meant to! No hard feelings! And without further explanation I wouldn’t have thought about it either. The st…

hmm I basically copy pasted the code and I though after reading this : Weather - Home Assistant it should work, but I only have every element being unknown. Do I have to tell this that I am using met.no ?

[pepe59]

Have you put your own weather entity in your code?

[eemceebee (Sebastian)]

Not sure what I was doing wrong. Maybe a typo, but now it works. Thanks

[Jort1 (Jort)]

How did it works out? I’m interseting in it aswell. If you have something, can you share your code? Thanks!

[basschipper]

I unfortunately did not get the graph component to work.
In the end I solved it by just drawing rectangles:

The code:

int bar_size = 33;
it.rectangle(x_offset+(bar_size*0), y_offset-id(electricity_price).state*100, bar_size, id(electricity_price).state*100);
it.rectangle(x_offset+(bar_size*1), y_offset-id(electricity_price_1h).state*100, bar_size, id(electricity_price_1h).state*100);
it.rectangle(x_offset+(bar_size*2), y_offset-id(electricity_price_2h).state*100, bar_size, id(electricity_price_2h).state*100);
it.rectangle(x_offset+(bar_size*3), y_offset-id(electricity_price_3h).state*100, bar_size, id(electricity_price_3h).state*100);
it.rectangle(x_offset+(bar_size*4), y_offset-id(electricity_price_4h).state*100, bar_size, id(electricity_price_4h).state*100);

As you can see, both prices and hours come from home assistant sensors.
I still need to fix those price rounding differences that cause the 0 line to jump by 1 pixel.

[Jort1 (Jort)]

Thanks for your reply. I will look into that

[tacokikker (Taco)]

That looks amazing!
Would you consider assembling and coding 1 setup as a commision? I’m willing to pay for a good setup like this.

[Edwin_D]

I see you built this e-ink screen holder quite some time ago. I really like what you did. I read you 3D printed parts. I do own a 3D printer too, so if you have a model you could share I’d be really interested. That would save me time trying to come up with something myself.

[Edwin_D]

Great, I can see it now. Thank you very much.

[Grijzekop (Gert)]

Hi Taco,

I don’t think that I can build this for somebody else. I’m not a programmer and use a lot of trial and error myself (and Google a lot!). Maybe I have spend about 40 hours all together to come to this result. And it still needs time to update the code frequently due to changes in Home Assistant or (like last week) in the Fordpass API. Then I spend several hours to figure out what is changed and how I can make it work again in Home Assistant and in ESPHome.
I can help you if you want, but I can’t make it for you.
But thanks for the compliment!

[rcblackwell (Robert Blackwell)]

@sloma ,

I like the what you’ve done with the Weatherman code. Some great additions!

I’d like to replicate temperature and pressure trends in my own code but I’m having difficulty adding the following to my templates.yaml file;

@sloma

Temp trend:

  - platform: trend
    sensors:
      outside_temperature:
        entity_id: sensor.zigbeeweather_temperature
        friendly_name: "Temperature Trend"
        max_samples: 60
        sample_duration: 10800

Pressure trend:

  - platform: trend
    sensors:
      atmospheric_pressure:
        entity_id: sensor.zigbeeweather_pressure
        friendly_name: "Pressure Trend"
        max_samples: 60
        sample_duration: 21600

Using Studio Code Server to add the code, I’m presented with an error indicating property “platform is not allowed” and “property sensors not allowed”. can you guide at to what I may be doing wrong?

Here is my template.yaml file;

You need to add the following line before platform:

- binary_sensor:

Trend sensor is a part of binary sensor. I have a split configuration, which is why you do not see it in my config.

Here is another example form HA website:

Hope this helps.
