The `metoffice` weather platform uses the Met Office's [DataPoint API](https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/datapoint) for weather data.
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
Their website is not as straightforward so check the [getting started](https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/services/data/datapoint/getting-started).
|
|
1. Register for a [Met Office account](https://register.metoffice.gov.uk/WaveRegistrationClient/public/register.do?service=datapoint).
|
|
2. After registration and verification of your account, [login](https://register.metoffice.gov.uk/MyAccountClient/account/view) to retrieve your API key.

## Entities
|
|
|
|
This integration creates a number of weather entities for each entry created in the configuration by location: one weather entity with a summary and a forecast, and twelve sensor entities for individual reporting on each of the individual measurements, for both 3-hourly and daily updates (to a grand total of 26 entities available). Note that only one of the two summary entities and the 3-hourly sensor entities flagged below are enabled by default, so your system isn't overrun on initial configuration. The time supplied for each forecast is the start time for the forecast.
|
|
|
|
The available sensor entities:
|
|
|
|
- "feels like" temperature
|
|
- humidity
|
|
- probability of precipitation
|
|
- station name
|
|
- temperature
|
|
- UV index
|
|
- visibility
|
|
- visibility distance
|
|
- weather
|
|
- wind direction
|
|
- wind gust
|
|
- wind speed
|
|
|
|
Only probability of precipitation, temperature, weather and wind speed are enabled by default.
|
|
|
|
Details about the API are available in the [DataPoint API documentation](https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/services/data/datapoint/api-reference). The [DataPoint](https://github.com/EJEP/datapoint-python) library is used to retrieve data.
