This card is essentially deprecated now in favour of Platinum Weather Card The new card should import the configuration from this card.
I have renamed this card to remove the emphasis on BOM. This is a generic card that works with any provider
NON-Australian Users: This card and docs has always been a generic card with an emphasis on BOM in Australia however it will work with ANY weather provider that can supply the sensors.
AUSTRALIA ONLY NOTE: I have made some changes to the docs so that this card now uses the new BOM Component by Brendan This new repo can be added to HACS See also the excellent new BOM Radar Card by @therat here
I have updated the lovelace.yaml and templates (NOTE THESE AE EXAMPLES and can be customised for your needs) as well for this new component.
When you install Brendans new BOM Component, you will get sensors that look like this: For the Observations, they will be named for the BOM Observation station like.. sensor.gosford_temperature as an example. For the Forecast, they will be named by your local suburb determined from the entered Latitude and Longitude (which will default to your HA configuration) like sensor.kariong_icon_descriptor_0
It MAY be that there will be some new conditions from BOM. If icons are missing or you get any errors please let me know.
IF you are using the old card as well with the 7 days forecast, note the new component only provides 6 days now and additionally I have added some icons so make sure you grab the bom_icons.zip file and extract the contents to /config/www/bom_icons The animated icons for the card itself are unchanged.
This card is a modification of a fork of iammexx/home-assistant-config dark-sky-weather-card This card provides MANY additional features as well as compatability with later versions of home assistant. New features not in original card include:
NOTE: This card REQUIRES any weather component that can provide the required sensors. (like the new BOM Component if in Australia) Alternately, if you are using DarkSky (or any other provider), the important thing is that any entities parsed to the card must be provided by that platform and you should carefully check the sensor names exist. Parsing a non existant sensor to the card will cause the card to fail to display!
The Weather Card provides current and forecast weather conditions using HA sensors. You configure the card by passing in sensor entities from the weather component.
The weather package in the repo shows configuration for this card. This package is for HA versions > 0.115.0.
The card is very customizable. You can configure many aspects of it's look and feel as well as which specific content to show by passing in customization flags and defining optional sensors. Content can also be rearranged if desired.
Hovering over a forecast day will display the daily weather summary in a tooltip popup if that option has been enabled.
This plugin is now part of the default HACS store. You should not need to add it manually. Add this repo https://github.com/DavidFW1960/bom-weather-card
Install card from HACS as per other plugins. Note that you must add this card as a module to the resources section as per the instructions when you install the card.
NOTE: Home Assistant caches stuff in a way that seems particularly hard to break some times and HACS makes this worse unfortunately. The rule of thumb is that when you install a new version you MUST break the cache in order for HA to load the new card. This is fairly easy to do. In CHROME open up the Dev Tools by pressing F12 Then right click on the refresh icon in the task bar (see graphic) and you will see a menu of options. Select Empty cache and hard reload from the options. It is the only option with no shortcut!
You then need to press either CTRL+R OR CTRL+F5 at least TWICE. Then check the version in the same dev-tools. It will look something like this:
The first time you do the CTRL+F5 you might find that the version will again change back to the previous version but a second refresh will fix it.
EDIT: Latest HACS version includes a version tag in the resource which will change when you update the card so the caching fix described above is no longer necessary! Yay!
bom-weather-card.js
to your <config-dir>/www/
directory. If you don't have this directory (this is your first custom card), you will need to create it./local/bom-weather-card/bom-weather-card.js?v=o.89
type js to resources. You must increment or use a different version number for every update to break the caching of the card and make it use the new version.
Please download ALL icons required are in this file here
In addition to the amcharts ones from here I have found a few more svg icons (from here and also via the Home Assistant Forums here to use in this component. Put them in <config-dir>/www/icons/weather_icons
and then sub folders animated and static. Create the directories if necessary.
I used to recommend downloading Download the amcharts icons from https://www.amcharts.com/dl/svg-weather-icons/ however if you don't use my zip file version some icons will be missing.
To use the basic card, you will also need the /
You should end up with the following folders: This structure is after all configuration is done. If you install via HACS you must still configure the package/yaml and icons manually. HACS:-
└── ...
└── configuration.yaml
└── packages
└── weather.yaml
└── www
└── community
└── bom-weather-card
└── bom-weather-card.js
└── bom-weather-card.js.gz

└── weather_icons
└── animated ###### Containing the animated icons from weather_icons.zip animated directory
└── static ###### Containing the animated icons from weather_icons.zip static directory
This structure is after all configuration is done. You must still configure the package/yaml and icons manually. MANUAL INSTALL:-
└── ...
└── configuration.yaml
└── packages
└── weather.yaml

└── static ###### Containing the animated icons from weather_icons.zip static directory
IF YOU USE the SAMBA addin in Home Assistant, the ICON directory will be hidden by default. Go to the configuration of the addon and remove the exclusion of icons and restart the addon otherwise you can't create the directory.
It seems the new BOM API actually will generate a forecast for ANY location/Suburb in Australia and observations for defined observation stations. The nearest station is used.
The next two steps are completed differently based on the version of HA you are using:
Add the card reference to resources If you installed using HACS, the resources should be updated automatically (see below)
Note: Ensure type is set to module and not js
Note: /local/ points to the <config-dir>/www/
dir.
Note: /hacsfiles/ points to the <config-dir>/www/community/
dir.
Note that neither /local/ of /hacsfiles/ physically exist! The directory structure is as per above.
For a HACS Installation:
resources:
- url: /hacsfiles/bom-weather-card/bom-weather-card.js
type: module
For the manual installation:
resources:
- url: /local/custom_ui/bom-weather-card.js?v=0.1
type: module
To use the package, copy weather.yaml to your packages folder as per above. Create that directory if it doesn't exist. Edit weather.yaml for your sensor names and ensure you include packages in configuration.yaml:
homeassistant:
packages: !include_dir_named packages
An example configuration is in lovelace.yaml - this can be pasted into the manual card configuration in the GUI editor If you paste it in the raw editor or in a yaml file, take care with the indenting.
Required entries must be present in your configuration. The card will not work at all if any of these lines are missing. EDIT gosford/kariong to match your observations/forecasts

Example template sensors: You can call template sensors whatever you want so long as you use the same name in the card config. (Included in weather.yaml) I don't believe templates for areas with two fire danger areas like Perth are required anymore with the new forecasts. NOTE ALSO that the minimum temperature 'disappears' in the early afternoon from the BOM feed. ALso the UV and fire information becomes unknown around 10PM. I have used Template sensors toselect the next day when this happens but have not done this in this latest package (too little benefit!) I am also parsing the ACTUAL minimum and maximum temperatures to the card rather than the forecast ones for the current day. If you don't like that, feel free to make your own sensors. (See the minimal card template for examples)
These templates are EXAMPLES. Adjust and adapt as required. Up-to-date templates will always be in the templates.md file.

NOTE I am using a custom component average for the bom_today_max and bom_today_min sensors. See that for day 0, if the min/max is missing from the forecast it uses the average component. In the weather.yaml package, I use the statistics sensor instead of the custom average component (and provide code for both so you can choose).. You can then display these on an entities card like this: Note this uses a custom hui_element card in case BOM isn't publishing day 6

I show some additional info on a seperate card. This utilises the Beaufort, Heat Index templates as well as an illuminance computation. I have added an illuminance package derived from Brian Hanifin's work here
I also used Phil Bruckners illuminance component for comparison using met.no here
I use a history graph to display these

I am hoping to refine this and maybe use to assist with turning on an indoor light.
