The `bom` platform allows you to get the current weather conditions from the [Bureau of Meteorology (BOM)](http://www.bom.gov.au/) Australia.
- Each sensor will be given the `device_id` of "bom [optionalname] friendlyname units"
- Get the station ID for your local BOM station from the BOM website: State -> Observations -> Latest Observations -> Choose the station
- The URL will look like http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDS60801/IDS60801.94675.shtml. This is for Adelaide. The URL is read as: http://www.bom.gov.au/products/[zone_id]/[zone_id].[wmo_id].shtml
- A name is optional but if multiple BOM weather stations are used a name will be required.
- The sensor will update every minute 35 minutes after last data timestamp. This allows for the 30 minute observation cycle and the approximate 5 minute update delay in publishing the data.
To get the station ID `[zone_id]` and `[wmo_id]` for your local BOM station:
- Find your station on these maps:
- NSW: http://www.bom.gov.au/nsw/observations/map.shtml
- QLD: http://www.bom.gov.au/qld/observations/map.shtml
- VIC: http://www.bom.gov.au/vic/observations/map.shtml
- WA: http://www.bom.gov.au/wa/observations/map.shtml
- SA: http://www.bom.gov.au/sa/observations/map.shtml
- TAS: http://www.bom.gov.au/tas/observations/map.shtml
- ACT: http://www.bom.gov.au/act/observations/canberramap.shtml
- NT: http://www.bom.gov.au/nt/observations/map.shtml
- alternatively, from the [BOM website](http://www.bom.gov.au/), navigate to State -> Observations -> Latest Observations -> Choose the station.
- The URL will look like: http://www.bom.gov.au/products/[zone_id]/[zone_id].[wmo_id].shtml
- For Adelaide, the URL will look like http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDS60801/IDS60801.94675.shtml.
To add the BOM weather observation to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
