Hi Josh,

Put this in your search engine. It has several posts that should help.
Forecasts are pulled using Actions now (formerly services).

I posted a video in the social section a few weeks ago that may be of interest to you.

Hi,

I am confused re. the core WeatherFlow integration WeatherFlow - Home Assistant - I can see it in the dialog “Add repository” in HA, but it requires station id and token (why? it should use UDP broadcast only) and the info button (?) still links the deprecated archived GitHub project by briis: GitHub - briis/hass-weatherflow: Home Assistant Integration for WeatherFlow Stations (which I have been using till now from HACS - I have removed it already).

My HA is the latest version 2024.8.3.

Is this a bug?

Another question: are there significant diffs between core:WeatherFlowCloud and hacs:WeatherFlow Forecast and Sensor integration?

EDIT: ‘s/UDP forecast/UDP broadcast’. Thanks!

There is no such thing as a udp forecast.

by what means would I locate said video?

As the maintainer of core stuff:

  1. UDP (Weatherflow) is local-only if you don’t have a wonky VLAN that messes up UDP Traffic. No cloud data (forecasts / nearcast / etc)

  2. Cloud (Core) - Weatherflow Cloud - is a core integration. It has less features than HACS but it does have Forecasts and some local sensors

  • Wind got rejected from the PR because they didn’t want to change the update rate to 5seconds (which the API Supports). I want to explore the websocket mode - which the backing lib supports … this might solve the wind issue
  1. HACS - by @briis - This is the most full featured “cloud” version out there - and if you want to use it feel free. My hope is eventually the CORE cloud will be as full-featured but getting through PR can be VERY slow going

Ermm… Uhh… By clicking “social”? I don’t understand the question.
