Note that the Willy Weather service at a basic subscription level only supports a single location.
If you want more than one location, then adjust your WW settings in their system. Then try adding more than one location_id in your config in HA and let us know how you go.
I have not tried more than one location, so I have not built the component to support more than one location, but it may work.
Hi Riccardo,
Love the component so far. What Iām having problems with at the moment (and Iāve only started with HA) is that I canāt get the Willyweather data showing on a Darksky card. In fact, Iām not sure Iāve even got that configured correctly.
The error Iām seeing in the logs is:
Unable to connect to Dark Sky: 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: https://api.darksky.net/forecast/123/-33.39880790795851,151.35502696037295?units=si&lang=en
Obviously, I donāt have an API Key and from what I read, it isnāt possible to subscribe any longer. But I thought your component would just make use of the Dark Sky component and I wouldnāt need to connect.
Regs,
Paul
Not sure about Dark Sky. I tried it a while ago but I donāt like it, so canāt really help.
No problems, thanks for the reply.
I did read about https://pirateweather.net/ recently which aims to be a replacement for Dark Sky. Not sure if it would help or not yet but I have signed up for an api key.
Any reason you donāt use the BOM custom component?
Iāll check that one out.
I wasnāt able to get all the info I wanted from BOM for the SHAC automation. As it is, Iām using a combination of Willy Weather and another one. Iām only using BOM for the radar.
See here for home assistant integration.
@safepay thankyou for this ! I have been a Willy Weather user for years for my own systems and was delighted to find this one. It has things for me that the BOM does not provide for some reason.
VERY much appreciate you making this.
What url do you give willyweather when setting up the API?
It was the URL Willyweather request when registering for an API key on their website that I was talking about. Anyway, Iāve got the key now. Thanks for your reply.
Still trying to get this working but Iām not seeing anything. Iāve got my API key from WW and have the following in my configuration.yaml
sensor:
- platform: willyweather
api_key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
forecast_days: 7
weather:
- platform: willyweather
api_key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sensors are appearing but state is āunavailableā.
Any ideas as to what Iām doing wrong?
Thanks!
Make sure that your location (lat and long) are set properly.
And make sure permissions are set in Willy Weather as per the instructions.
Really loving this tool - thanks!
one question and a correction
How can I get rid of the āsummary for todayā and āsummary for the weekā fields showing up? The willy weather sensors that are created donāt have these fields and so Iād love to only use the screen realestate that shows available and relevant information.

Note that the sensors that are referenced and the location they are specified are not aligned so the card will show the weather info in the wrong places. My corrected version is below

Hello there!
Firstly I have the following API requested for these observations
and in my configuration.yaml file I have this
but in my logs I see this error
any guidance?
basically all Iām after is a few wind sensors so I can plug them into my Grafana and see what the wind is doing at my local windsurfing spot.
eventually Iād setup a flow in Node Red if wind is X strength for Y min to notify via a local sailors groupā¦ but until I get the sensors in I canāt do anythingā¦
thanks so much for any tips!
Hi there,
Try setting the Willy Weather API items as per the readme.
You are ticking the items for graphs and not the items required for the sensor.
cheers Richardā¦ the documentation on the site isnāt very clear thenā¦ are u able to possibly point me in the right direction?
