Weather Underground integration configuration

Third party integrations

Hi All,

I always had the weather underground addon until it broke. Now I'm trying to fix it using: GitHub - cytech/Home-Assistant-wundergroundpws: Home Assistant custom component sensor for Weather Underground personal weather station users · GitHub

But I'm unclear how this works and I think it's because I'm a noob user. It says I have to use HACS to install it which I think I did. But when I follow the path in te menu through: settings, devices & services, add a new integration and select wunderground pws it tells me:

"This integration cannot be added from the UI
You can add this integration by adding it to your 'configuration.yaml'. See the documentation for more information."

I found this post which explains I need to use core Weather Underground addon but the manual doesn't mention it at all.

The steps in the installation in the addon github are:

  1. Open HACS within HomeAssistant
  2. Within HACS, select the 3-dot button (top right) and then Custom repositories from the menu
  3. In the dialog that appears, enter the following:
  • Repository: cytech/Home-Assistant-wundergroundpws
  • Category: Integration
  1. Click Add
  2. Now in the Search tab of HACS, search for "wundergroundpws"

But what do I do after step 5???

The manual install is mentioning all kinds of configuration you can do (like set the API key which I had done before while it was still working).

My gut says I must be missing something.

It would be awesome if one of you can point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

I think I've managed to install it. But not in the regular way.

After installing a file editor, editing configuration.yaml, removing the old wunderground config and removing the folder from custom_components and uninstalling through hacs and doing several restarts in between when I reinstalled 2.1.0 the integration showed up again complete with my settings (API key and station) without me having to configure it and it worked. So I must have missed some files and config?

After which I updated to 2.3.0 and it still worked. I'm not entirely certain this will keep working but for now it seems to do so.
