Note:\ This sensor should work with any weather provider in any of it settings. But please note that the sensor cannot see further than the weather provider shows. Therefore, it is recommended to set the
daily
mode in the weather provider settings. If necessary, you can configure a separate weather provider instance especially for this sensor.
weather:\ (string) (Required)\ Weather provider entity ID.
unique_id\ (string) (Optional)\ An ID that uniquely identifies this sensor. Set this to a unique value to allow customization through the UI.
Note:\ If you used the component version 1.4.0 or earlier, you can specify the special value
__legacy__
, so that no duplicates of already existing sensors are created.\ The use of this special value in newly created sensors is not recommended.Another way is to manually delete all old sensors via Configuration > Entities. Then restart HA and all the _2’s were was the original sensors again complete with their history.\
name:\ (string) (Optional) (Default value: 'Car Wash')\ Name to use in the frontend.
days:\ (positive integer) (Optional) (Default value: 2)\ The number of days how far forward the sensor looks for the weather forecast.
Follow the link to see example how you can use this sensor in automations.

To enable debug logs use this configuration:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
