The bom platform allows you to get the current weather conditions from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) Australia.

• Each sensor will be given the device_id of "bom [optionalname] friendlyname units"
• Get the station ID for your local BOM station from the BOM website: State -> Observations -> Latest Observations -> Choose the station
• The URL will look like http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDS60801/IDS60801.94675.shtml. This is for Adelaide. The URL is read as: http://www.bom.gov.au/products/[zone_id]/[zone_id].[wmo_id].shtml
• A name is optional but if multiple BOM weather stations are used a name will be required.
• The sensor will update every minute 35 minutes after last data timestamp. This allows for the 30 minute observation cycle and the approximate 5 minute update delay in publishing the data.

To add the BOM weather observation to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
