+
+The `buienradar` platform uses [buienradar.nl](http://buienradar.nl/) as an source for current meteorological data for your location. The 
+weather forecast is delivered by Buienradar, who provides a webservice that provides detailed weather information for users in The Netherlands.
+The relevant weatherstation used will be automatically selected based on the location specified in the Home Assistant configuration (or in the buienradar weather/sensor component).
+
+To integrate `buienradar` with Home Assistant, add the following section to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+sensor:
+  - platform: buienradar
+    monitored_conditions:
+      - symbol
+      - humidity
+      - temperature
+      - windspeed
+      - pressure
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+
+- **platform**  (*Required*): buienradar.
+- **latitude**  (*Optional*): latitude to use for selection of data source location. Longitude & latitude will be taken from Home Assistant configuration, but can be overridden/changed in this component to select a different location for buienradar.
+- **longitude** (*Optional*): longitude to use for selection of data source location. Longitude & latitude will be taken from Home Assistant configuration, but can be overridden/changed in this component to select a different location for buienradar.
+- **monitored_conditions** array (*Required*): one or more conditions to display in the frontend.
+  - **stationname**: the name of the selected meteo-station.
+  - **symbol**: A symbol for the current weather.
+  - **humidity**: The relative humidity (%).
+  - **temperature**: The current temperature (in C).
+  - **groundtemperature**: The current ground temperature (in C).
+  - **windspeed**: The wind speed in m/s.
+  - **windforce**: The wind speed/force in Bft.
+  - **winddirection**: Where the wind is coming from in degrees, with true north at 0° and progressing clockwise.
+  - **windazimuth**: Where the wind is coming from: N (North),Z (south), NO (Noth-East), etc..
+  - **pressure**: The sea-level air pressure in hPa.
+  - **visibility**: Visibility in meters (m).
+  - **windgust**: The windspeed of wind gusts (m/s).
+  - **precipitation**: the amount of precipitation/rain in mm/h.
+  - **irradiance**: Sun intensity in Watt per square meter (W/m2).
+
+Full configuration example where location is manually specified:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+- platform: buienradar
+    latitude: 51.65
+    longitude: 5.70
+    monitored_conditions:
+      - stationname
+      - symbol
+      - humidity
+      - temperature
+      - groundtemperature
+      - windspeed
+      - windforce
+      - winddirection
+      - windazimuth
+      - pressure
+      - visibility
+      - windgust
+      - precipitation
+      - irradiance

+The relevant weatherstation used will be automatically selected based on the location specified in the Home Assistant configuration (or in the buienradar weather/sensor component).
+
+To add the buienradar weather to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+weather:
+  - platform: buienradar
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+- **platform** (*Required*): buienradar
+- **latitude**  (*Optional*): latitude to use for selection of data source location. Longitude & latitude will be taken from Home Assistant configuration, but can be overridden/changed in this component to select a different location for buienradar.
+- **longitude** (*Optional*): longitude to use for selection of data source location. Longitude & latitude will be taken from Home Assistant configuration, but can be overridden/changed in this component to select a different location for buienradar.
+- **forecast** (*Optional*): 'True' to add a temperature forecast, 'False' to suppress it
+
+
+A full configuration example:
+
+```yaml
+weather:
+  - platform: buienradar
+    name: buienradar
+    latitude: 51.65
+    longitude: 5.70
+    forecast: True
+```
+
+<p class='note'>
+This platform is an alternative to the [`buienradar`](/components/sensor.buienradar/) sensor.
+The weather platform is easier to configure but less customisable.
