Entities

A number of weather entities are created for each entry created in the configuration by location: one weather entity with a summary of the 3-hourly forecasts and twelve sensor entities for individual reporting on each of the individual measurements. The time supplied for each forecast is the start time for the forecast.

Entity	Description	Enabled by default
weather.met_office_site name	Weather entity with state of the current weather condition and attributes of temperature, humidity, wind speed and visibility.	Yes.
sensor.site name_feels_like_temperature	Sensor entity giving the current forecast 'feels like' temperature.	No.
sensor.site name_humidity	Sensor entity giving the current forecast humidity.	No.
sensor.site name_probability_of_precipitation	Sensor entity giving the current forecast chance of rain.	Yes.
sensor.site name_station_name	Sensor entity giving the current forecast time interval since midnight UTC.	No.
sensor.site name_temperature	Sensor entity giving the current forecast temperature.	Yes.
sensor.site name_uv_index	Sensor entity giving the current forecast UV index.	No.
sensor.site name_visibility	Sensor entity giving the current forecast visibility classification.	No.
sensor.site name_visibility_distance	Sensor entity giving the current forecast visibility distance (as a range).	No.
sensor.site name_weather	Sensor entity giving the current forecast weather conditions.	Yes.
sensor.site name_wind_direction	Sensor entity giving the current forecast wind direction.	No.
sensor.site name_wind_gust	Sensor entity giving the current forecast maximum wind gust.	No.
sensor.site name_speed	Sensor entity giving the current forecast wind speed.	Yes.

Details about the API are available in the DataPoint API documentation. The DataPoint library is used to retrieve data.
