Weather sensor question

This is a total newbie question but I’m looking over all the different weather options and I’m confused by the “sensor”/not sensor part. Can someone explain what the different is between “Dark Sky” vs “Dark Sky Sensor”; and “Openweathermap” vs “openweathermap sensor”; and “yahoo weather” vs “yahoo weather sensor”?

Thank you

wow. we posted almost identical questions within a minute of each other! Difference between sensor.darksky and weather.darksky?

too funny… great minds think alike!

1 of the main differences is that you get an actual chart with the weather component. All the properties (like temperature, wind, etc) are stored as attributes to the weather platform, as opposed to being separate sensors in the sensor platform.

How do you access/display the different attributes?
