New HA user on the steep learning curve, I did a couple of searches, but I couldn’t find and answer so…
I want to display a Weather card on my dashboard with:
I’m using the BOM weather card at the moment with the data for ‘weather.carine’ but it doesn’t show everything that I’d like, the info (sensors) are supplied by the (Australian) weather beureau, but i want to be able to display certain info as explained above.
I really liked the custom weather card with moving icons, but after some digging it would appear that the card is deprecated (I’ll be happy to be wrong about that) I never had any luck getting it to show on my dashboard.
My intention is to set up a tablet in Kiosk mode and display the dashboard for the family to use as required.

That card does all of that if you configure it correctly, including the moving icons.

The BOM card has been rebranded as Custom Animated Weather Card. It does all you want looking at your list but accepts sensors - not the HA weather integration objects - is that your issue?

Thanks Dave (howdy neighbour) and Daryl.
I copied the body of the bom-weather-card from Dave’s, edited my card and replaced all of the code with Daves).
I don’t see the card in my dashboard, when I edit the dashboard, I see an entry for the card, the code is correct in the code editor, but the card doesn’t show graphically.
Something must be missing in my setup, but I can’t figure out what.

So in the screenshot, the custom card is on top, the default card below.
Hmm. This is how mine looks.
Since your custom card is not showing at all, it would indicate that one of your entities is not correct / missing

I edited the code, and removed any entity names that I couldn’t find in Configuration > Entities
All sensors that are listed below, exist as entities, I’ve checked the names by pasting it into the inteface and finding the corresponding entity .
I’ve refreshed the Cache with Control + F5
Do I need to reload the BOM sensors?

Best to check the ReadMe on the Github repo as I’m fairly sure there are some entries you must use. I notice you haven’t got:
entity_current_conditions:
entity_temperature:
or any of the icon entities

I can confirm that if you leave out either of the entries below the card won’t show.

My main dashboard uses ui-lovelace.yaml, but I find it handy to use the UI editor on a test tab to add new cards as the result is instant.

Correct. As the docs clearly say there are mandatory entities. If you leave them out no card for you.

added the pointer to Davids repository as a resource for the dashboard.
the standard BOM card is installed and working for Carine
I assume that I’m missing something critical, but I can’t figure out what it is
Check all the entities you are parsing exist in dev tools

Hi @DavidFW1960 ,
I’m trying to use your weather card with the NWS integration and map the entities and attributes to the BOM equivalents. I have a functional card right now, but am having some difficulties with a number of the enhancements you added to the DarkSky card. Some are because there are no equivalent attributes, some are because of different units or set of wx conditions, and some could be residual bugs.
I’d like to solicit your help. Should I use this thread or start a new one?
Rob just create a github issue

Have a look at the GitHub repository https://github.com/DavidFW1960/bom-weather-card and David’s original forum post. That should get you started.
