The `metoffice` sensor platform uses the Met Office's [DataPoint API][datapoint] for weather data.
- Each sensor will be given the `device_id` of "Met Office [condition]"
- The sensor checks for new data every minute, starting 30 minutes after the timestamp of the most recent data as the data is updated every half-hour.
To add the Met Office weather to your installation you'll need to register for a free api key at the link above and then add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: metoffice
api_key: "my-api-key"
monitored_conditions:
- weather
- temperature
- feels_like_temperature
- wind_speed
- wind_direction
- wind_gust
- visibility
- uv
- precipitation
- humidity
```
Your location will be detected from your home `latitude` and `longitude` settings.
Configuration variables:
- **api_key** (*Required*): Your personal API key from the [Datapoint website][datapoint].
<p class='note'>
This sensor is an alternative to the [`metoffice`](/components/weather.metoffice/) weather platform.
The weather platform is easier to configure but less customisable.
