## Configuration ## Configuration
To add `nws` to your installation, go to **Configuration** >> **Integrations** in the UI, click the button with `+` sign and from the list of integrations select **National Weather Service (NWS)**. Multiple entries can be configured, but a unique set of latitude and longitude must be supplied for each.
According to the [API documentation](https://www.weather.gov/documentation/services-web-api/), a string is required for the API key, and an email address is suggested to be included within the string. According to the [API documentation](https://www.weather.gov/documentation/services-web-api/), a string is required for the API key, and an email address is suggested to be included within the string.
To add NWS to your installation using the closest station, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file: Providing a METAR station code is optional, and if not supplied, the closest station to the latitude and longitude will be chosen. A list of nearby stations is printed to the log with level `DEBUG` if no station is supplied. Stations can also be found on the [NOAA website](https://www.cnrfc.noaa.gov/metar.php). Codes with only three characters, for example, `ADW` should be prefixed with the letter K, `KADW`.
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
nws:
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
```
To specify a station, for example, KADW (Andrews Air Force Base), use the following:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
nws:
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
station: KADW
```

Multiple entries can be configured, but a unique set of latitude and longitude must be supplied for each:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
nws:
- api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
latitude: 38.5
longitude: -76.5
- api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
latitude: 39
longitude: -76.5
```
Two weather entities are created for each entry in the configuration: one for hourly forecasts and one for day and night forecasts. The time supplied for each forecast is the start time for the forecast.
