The `bom` sensor platform uses the [Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM)](http://www.bom.gov.au) as a source for current (half-hourly) meteorological data.
- Each sensor will be given the `device_id` of "bom [optionalname] friendlyname units"
- A name is optional but if multiple BOM weather stations are used a name will be required.
- The sensor checks for new data every minute, starting 30 minutes after the timestamp of the most recent data as the data is updated every half-hour.
To add the BOM weather observation to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: bom
monitored_conditions:
- apparent_t
- cloud
- cloud_base_m
- cloud_oktas
- cloud_type_id
- cloud_type
- delta_t
- gust_kmh
- gust_kt
- air_temp
- dewpt
- local_date_time
- local_date_time_full
- press
- press_qnh
- press_msl
- press_tend
- rain_trace
- rel_hum
- sea_state
- swell_dir_worded
- swell_height
- swell_period
- vis_km
- weather
- wind_dir
- wind_spd_kmh
- wind_spd_kt
```
To get the station ID for any BOM station:
- Find your station on these maps: [NSW](http://www.bom.gov.au/nsw/observations/map.shtml), [QLD](http://www.bom.gov.au/qld/observations/map.shtml), [VIC](http://www.bom.gov.au/vic/observations/map.shtml), [WA](http://www.bom.gov.au/wa/observations/map.shtml), [SA](http://www.bom.gov.au/sa/observations/map.shtml), [TAS](http://www.bom.gov.au/tas/observations/map.shtml), [ACT](http://www.bom.gov.au/act/observations/canberramap.shtml), [NT](http://www.bom.gov.au/nt/observations/map.shtml).
- alternatively, from the [BOM website](http://www.bom.gov.au/), navigate to State -> Observations -> Latest Observations -> Choose the station.
- The URL will look like: http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDx60801/[station].shtml
- For Adelaide, the URL will look like `http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDS60801/IDS60801.94675.shtml`; the station ID is `IDS60801.94675`.

<p class='note'>
This sensor is an alternative to the [`bom`](/components/weather.bom/) weather platform.
The weather platform is easier to configure but less customisable.
