## Entities
A number of weather entities are created for each entry created in the configuration by location: one weather entity with a summary of the 3-hourly forecasts and twelve sensor entities for individual reporting on each of the individual measurements. The time supplied for each forecast is the start time for the forecast.
This integration creates a number of weather entities for each entry created in the configuration by location: one weather entity with a summary and a forecast, and twelve sensor entities for individual reporting on each of the individual measurements, for both 3-hourly and daily updates (to a grand total of 26 entities available). Note that only one of the two summary entities and the 3-hourly sensor entities flagged below are enabled by default, so your system isn't overrun on initial configuration. The time supplied for each forecast is the start time for the forecast.
|Entity|Description|Enabled by default|
|------|-----------|------------------|
|weather.met_office_**site name**|Weather entity with state of the current weather condition and attributes of temperature, humidity, wind speed and visibility.|Yes.|
|sensor.**site name**_feels_like_temperature|Sensor entity giving the current forecast 'feels like' temperature.|No.|
|sensor.**site name**_humidity|Sensor entity giving the current forecast humidity.|No.|
|sensor.**site name**_probability_of_precipitation|Sensor entity giving the current forecast chance of rain.|Yes.|
|sensor.**site name**_station_name|Sensor entity giving the current forecast time interval since midnight UTC.|No.|
|sensor.**site name**_temperature|Sensor entity giving the current forecast temperature.|Yes.|
|sensor.**site name**_uv_index|Sensor entity giving the current forecast UV index.|No.|
|sensor.**site name**_visibility|Sensor entity giving the current forecast visibility classification.|No.|
|sensor.**site name**_visibility_distance|Sensor entity giving the current forecast visibility distance (as a range).|No.|
|sensor.**site name**_weather|Sensor entity giving the current forecast weather conditions.|Yes.|
|sensor.**site name**_wind_direction|Sensor entity giving the current forecast wind direction.|No.|
|sensor.**site name**_wind_gust|Sensor entity giving the current forecast maximum wind gust.|No.|
|sensor.**site name**_speed|Sensor entity giving the current forecast wind speed.|Yes.|
The available sensor entities:
- "feels like" temperature
- humidity
- probability of precipitation
- station name
- temperature
- UV index
- visibility
- visibility distance
- weather
- wind direction
- wind gust
- wind speed
Only probability of precipitation, temperature, weather and wind speed are enabled by default.
Details about the API are available in the [DataPoint API documentation](https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/services/data/datapoint/api-reference). The [DataPoint](https://github.com/EJEP/datapoint-python) library is used to retrieve data.
