Multiple Instances How?

[tombondee]

If I have multiple weather flow tempest stations I see no way to create multiple instances using this component. Would like to have the ability to create multiple instances.

If you have have different Station Id's, just add the Integration one more time, and specify the new Station ID. You can repeat this for all Station ID's

[yolani]

Wouk it be possible to enable multiple instances for the same id, currently this does not seem to work.

I was trying to do so in order to get access to daily AND hourly forecasts for the same station.

There is a similar request in #53. I will have a look on how this could be done properly.

Hi,

   If you use the 'custom:weather-card' to contains the forecast data you can create a duplicate and set the features you want for daily or hourly,  etc...

example:

type: 'custom:weather-card' entity: weather.smartweather_home_at_honeoye_falls number_of_forecasts: '5' name: Home current: true details: true forecast: true hourly_forecast: false

type: 'custom:weather-card' entity: weather.smartweather_home_at_honeoye_falls number_of_forecasts: '5' name: Home current: true details: true forecast: true hourly_forecast: true

You can also click on the hour of the card and you will see the daily forecasts if you don't want to use 2 cards.

I believe I have something useful now. If you go to this Branch and download the following 3 files:

config_flow.py
__init__.py
entity.py

and then replace the files in your custom_components/smartweather directory in HA. Then restart HA and try and add the same station again, just with a different forecast type. I recommend you do not add the sensors on the second instance, as you will just get the same sensors twice. It can be done without errors, but it will just create 34 sensors, you do not need, as they are already present.

The Device will now be named STATION_NAME (FORECAST_TYPE) so in my case Vindinge (Daily) or Vindinge (Hourly). But please note that station already setup, will not be renamed unless you remove it and re-add it. It should still work though, but that is part of this test.

Let me know how this goes.

I'd say it's working, no warnings or errors in the log files either.

[briis]

Sehr gut, danke. I will wait for the user who reported this, to see if he is also happy with result, and then I will release it. Thanks for the quick reply.

I am not 100% if this is related, but it's the first time i am seeing any log entries regarding your integration, all 3 of them just happened this morning:

[briis]

The IndexError: list index out of range means we did not get any data. Could you check the Tempest APP, and also let me know if this continues? If it works again on the next update, it is most likely just a bad set of data retrieved from WeatherFlow

[yolani]

What exactly do you mean by "check the tempest app"?

If I look at the historical data, it indeed seems to stop at the time of the error:

[briis]

Yes, sorry. I just meant to check the Tempest App to see if this is updating - The wind sensor updates every 3 seconds, so if this is updating then your system is running. Just a check to see if everything was OK. Again. let me know if this error continues to show, or it was a one-off.

[yolani]

Seems like a one-off I guess, did not appear again in the last 4 hours. Probably unavoidable if you use an external API.

[briis]

I have released v2.2.2 that includes this, so I will close this issue.
