The Ambient Weather Station integration retrieves local weather information via personal weather stations from Ambient Weather.

Prerequisites

Using this integration requires both an Application Key and an API Key. To generate both, simply utilize the profile section of your Ambient Weather dashboard.

To add your Ambient Weather PWS to your Home Assistant installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
ambient_station:
  api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
  app_key: YOUR_APPLICATION_KEY

{% configuration %} api_key: description: The API key to access the service. required: true type: string app_key: description: The Application key to access the service. required: true type: string {% endconfiguration %}

{% include integrations/config_flow.md %}

Local API Option

This integration communicates with Ambient Weather PWS units via the Ambient Weather Cloud. Users desiring a local option are encouraged to explore the Ecowitt family of devices, which are able to read RF signals directly from the PWS and transmit them to a variety of other applications, including ecowitt2mqtt (which supports MQTT Discovery), or the built-in Ecowitt integration.
