The openweathermap platform uses OpenWeatherMap as a source for current meteorological data for your location. The forecast will show you the condition in 3 h.

You need an API key which is free but requires a registration.

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

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: openweathermap
    api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
    monitored_conditions:
      - weather

{% configuration %} api_key: description: Your API key for OpenWeatherMap. required: true type: string name: description: Additional name for the sensors. Default to platform name. required: false default: OWM type: string forecast: description: Enables the forecast. The default is to display the current conditions. required: false default: false type: string language: description: The language in which you want text results to be returned. It's a two-characters string, eg. en, es, ru, it, etc. required: false default: en type: string monitored_conditions: description: Conditions to display in the frontend. required: true type: list keys: weather: description: A human-readable text summary. temperature: description: The current temperature. wind_speed: description: The wind speed. wind_bearing: description: The wind bearing. humidity: description: The relative humidity. pressure: description: The sea-level air pressure in millibars. clouds: description: Description about cloud coverage. rain: description: The rain volume. snow: description: The snow volume. {% endconfiguration %}
