This would be handy. Otherwise we have to buy another sensor when the data is already there.
Yes, that would be a natural thing to add, it is not a deal breaker, since one can create a temperature (or humidity) sensor from them with yaml. For those reading this issue and not aware, here is an example.
sensor:
- platform: template
met_temperature:
friendly_name: MET temperature
unit_of_measurement: "°F"
value_template: >
{% if states('weather.home') != 'unknown' and states('weather.home') != 'Unavailable' %}
{%if state_attr('weather.home','temperature') %}
{{ state_attr('weather.home','temperature') }}
{%endif %}
{% else %}
{{ states('sensor.met_temperature') }}
{%endif %}
device_class: temperature
On the other hand, if the weather bit is added to this great integration, then forecasts of those quantities would be available.
Are templates working?
#Outside Temperature
- platform: template
sensors:
outside_temperature:
friendly_name: "Outside Temperature"
unit_of_measurement: 'ºC'
value_template: "{{ state_attr('weather.home', 'temperature') }}"
#Outside Humidity
- platform: template
sensors:
outside_humidity:
friendly_name: "Outside Humidity"
unit_of_measurement: '%'
value_template: "{{ state_attr('weather.home', 'humidity') }}"
Even when I get the values in development tools, they are still unknown in thermal confort.
edit:
Taking out the unit_of_measurement ('ºC', '%') solved it.
The syntax may have changed. I had success with the following: Add to configuration.yaml:
template: !include template.yaml
Create template.yaml with the following:
- sensor:
- name: "Außentemperatur"
unit_of_measurement: "°C"
state: >
{{ state_attr('weather.forecast_home', 'temperature') }}
unique_id: 'met_outdoor_temperature'
device_class: temperature
- sensor:
- name: "Außenluftfeuchtigkeit"
unit_of_measurement: "%"
state: >
{{ state_attr('weather.forecast_home', 'humidity') }}
unique_id: 'met_outdoor_humadity'
device_class: humidity
change the names as needed and also maybe forecast_home.
Weather sensor, as an outside temperature Weather
I am not sure if met is still the default weather sensor in home-assistant: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/met/
But it has all the nessesary attribute like: temperature, humidity, pressure, wind_speed. Met integration gives wether data for any location.
An additional reason for supporing external Weather data is to be able to merge with the mold sensor in home-assistant.
A sugestion if you one day will support picking attributes. Both Weather and climate have temperature as attributes.
Thanks for an incredable project, thermal comfort adds a good value to home-assistant.
