## {% linkable_title Camera %}
|

|

The `bom` camera platform uses the [Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM)](http://www.bom.gov.au) [radar web service](http://www.bom.gov.au/australia/radar/) as a source to generate an animated radar image.
|
||||
|
||||
To add the BOM camera to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
||||
camera:
|
||||
- platform: bom
|
||||
location: YOUR_LOCATION
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See below for a list of valid `location` values, and subsitute one for `YOUR_LOCATION`.
|
||||
|
||||

### {% linkable_title Examples %}
|
||||
|
||||
#### {% linkable_title Using `location` and `name` %}
|
||||
|
||||
Example `configuration.yaml` entry to display the `Townsville` radar with a camera named `mytowsvilleradar`:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
camera:
|
||||
- platform: bom
|
||||
name: mytownsvilleradar
|
||||
location: Townsville
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### {% linkable_title Using `id`, `delta` and `frames` %}
|
||||
|
||||
In the event BOM creates a new radar, or a radar's ID changes, you may define a custom `id` along with corresponding `delta` and `frames` values. You may also specify custom `delta` and `frames` values, along with a valid `location`, to override the default values for an existing radar. You may not define `location` and `id` in the same entity; you must specify one or the other. If `id` is specified, then `delta` and `frames` values _must_ be provided. If `location` is specified, `delta` and `frames` _may_ be provided to override the default values.
|
||||
|
||||
To find a live radar ID (e.g. for the `Townsville` radar), visit the [BOM website's radars page](http://www.bom.gov.au/australia/radar/), click the link for the radar you are interested in, and note the URL, for example: `http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDR733.loop.shtml`. The ID is the number following `IDR` (i.e. `733`) in the URL. You can also see, at the bottom of the radar image, a rotating set of times corresponding to the frames of the BOM's JavaScript-driven animation. The number of minutes (in seconds) between these times corresponds to the camera's `delta` value, and the number of frames corresponds to the `frames` value. At the time of this writing, the `Townsville` radar loop is composed of 4 frames at 10-minute (600 second) intervals. Since these are also the default values, this configuration block
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
camera:
|
||||
- platform: bom
|
||||
location: Townsville
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
is equivalent to this one
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
camera:
|
||||
- platform: bom
|
||||
id: '053'
|
||||
delta: 600
|
||||
frames: 4
|
||||
name: 'Carnarvon'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### {% linkable_title Using `filename` %}
|
||||
|
||||
This option can be specified to save the animated radar-imagery GIF to the given filesystem path.
|
||||
|
||||
Example `configuration.yaml` entry to display the `Sydney` radar and save the animated GIF to a file named `sydneyradar.gif` to the filesystem path accessible as `/local/sydneyradar.gif` via Home Assistant's web server:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
camera:
|
||||
- platform: bom
|
||||
id: Sydney
|
||||
filename: /config/www/images/sydneyradar.gif
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The file will be updated every `delta` seconds when the camera regenerates the animation.

||||
