Yes mine does:
Maybe check the BoM ID you are using (in the sensor attributes). It might be a station that is not updated often. You can check the observations on the BoM website.

Thanks, I’ve changed the station and will monitor updates. Strange it stopped, I’ve been using same one forever.
Hi everyone,
API is still working - Phew. I dread the day they add authentication to it for their app. I’ve recently gone through the issue list of the repo and submitted a couple of PRs with fixes. There is one in pre-release currently (1.3.5) with some heavily refactored code on the file that interfaces with the API that introduces caching and retries if the connection to the API is down momentarily. Would be great to get some downloads and tests if you’ve got the time (Suggest adding a separate location so you don’t mess with your currently configured weather settings).
In looking at those issues I’ve spotted a quality of life improvement that I’m part way through adding. Not really relevant for anyone with this installed today but for new starters it might be something worth adding. Still a WIP for the moment but here are the first couple of config screens. When its fully ready I’ll check back here for interest. Thanks to @theRat for helping get these updates through. Please add any issues you have directly into the Github repo too.

I’ve been running the pre-release since it was released. Simon, aka makin-things, aka the rat, asked me to try it.
It is working fine. I have not noticed any issues. I also tried reconfiguring the integration without issue.
Thanks for your contributions!

@jward101 I am happy to turn off the pre-release tag as I think the changes work fine. We can do more releases as you add the extra features you spoke about.
I doubt the BoM will ever add authentication but they also will never publish the api for others to use freely. Confident that I could reverse engineer anything they do produce as we have done in the past.

I pulled the trigger and made 1.3.5 the current release. If anyone sees issues please report. I have also edited the Readme.MD file to remove the unmaintained status tag.

Noob here. I’ve installed via HACS and restarted. I see nothing additional. Are there more config steps? Thanks.
Yes. You need to go to Settings → Devices & Services → Integrations → Add integration and search for “Bureau”. Add and configure it.
