@ -19,24 +19,35 @@ To add NWS to your installation using the closest station, add the following to
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
weather:
- platform: nws
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
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
weather:
- platform: nws
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
station: KADW
nws:
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
station: KADW
```
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`.
The default forecast is day and night, `mode: daynight`, while `mode: hourly` gives the forecast hourly. The forecast is obtained from the latitude and longitude value, not the station.
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.
