The wunderground platform uses Weather Underground as a source for current weather information.

Obtain a WUnderground API key [here](https://www.wunderground.com/weather/api). They no longer offer free API keys, and all keys must be paid for. At this time existing free keys will continue to work, but will be disabled Dec 31, 2018. As of Sept 6, 2018 Weather Underground states they are declaring the [End of Service for the Weather Underground API](https://apicommunity.wunderground.com/weatherapi/topics/end-of-service-for-the-weather-underground-api). They say they will develop new plans for non-commercial users. No timeline for this has been announced.

Please consider this when using the following information.

To add Wunderground to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: wunderground
    api_key: your_api_key

      - alerts
      - dewpoint_c

Configuration variables:

• api_key (Required): The API key for Weather Underground. See above for details.

{% linkable_title Forecasts %}

12 hour forecasts

Monitored conditions marked above with [12h] are 12 hour forecasts. To get a forecast for different period/daytime replace the _1d_ part of the sensor name. e.g., weather_2n will give you forecast for tomorrow night. Valid values for day are 1 to 4 and valid values for daytime are d or n.

Daily forecasts

Conditions above marked with [1d] are daily forecasts. To get forecast for different day, replace the number in _1d_ part of the sensor name. Valid values are from 1 to 4.

Hourly forecasts

Conditions marked with [1h] are hourly forecasts. To get forecast for different hour, replace the number in the _1h_ part of the sensor name with 1 to 36. e.g., weather_24h will give you weather in 24 hours.

Note: While the platform is called “wunderground” the sensors will show up in Home Assistant as “PWS” (eg: sensor.pws_weather).

Note that the Weather Underground sensor is added to the entity_registry, so second and subsequent Personal Weather Station ID (pws_id) will have their monitored conditions suffixed with an index number e.g.

• sensor.pws_weather_1d_metric_2
