Weather Underground addon

I’m running HA Core on an Intel NUC under Ubuntu and want to install the Weather Underground addon so I can use the data I already have and update from my PWS (personal weather station).

However, nothing I can find on the web actually works with HA core on Ubuntu. There’s lots of instructions out there, but the directories are not the same, and nothing seems to correspond well enough to trust. Weather Underground isn’t in HACS, integrations, add ons or any where else I can find looking through HA.

How does one do this?

This will work with a core installation. Just like any 3rd party integration will (like HACS for example):

A core install is an advance installation method. You are expected to know your way around the Linux folders, however there is an explanation of where the config folder is for each install type here: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/#to-find-the-configuration-directory You may have to adapt any instructions that are written for more common installation types by substituting the config folder location.

Also you should be aware that dropping official* support for your chosen installation method (core) is currently being discussed, no decisions, just discussion. See: Drop support for the Home Assistant Core installation method · home-assistant/architecture · Discussion #1197 · GitHub

* could still be community maintained and supported.

Thank you!! I have it installed now, and it seems to be setup just fine. I haven’t used it other than to look and see that something was there taken from my PWS.

The location of the detailed settings you pointed me to helped a lot in overcoming my reservations at doing anything that would require a restore from backup. I don’t know if this is the proper place to ask a followon question, but I’m going to anyway.

For a long time I’ve assumed I have a core installation, now I’m not so sure. The first two lines in the ‘System Information’ give me pause:

Have I been wrong all this time?

You have a Home Assistant OS installation.

“Core” is the main HA application and is included in all installation types.

:+1: Thanks again.
