The bom weather platform uses the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) as a source for current (half-hourly) meteorological data.

{% linkable_title Configuration %}

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

# Example configuration.yaml entry
weather:
  - platform: bom

{% configuration %} name: description: The name you would like to give to the weather station. required: optional type: string station: description: "The station ID string. See the sensor.bom docs for details on how to find the ID of a station." required: optional type: string default: The closest station {% endconfiguration %}

This platform is an alternative to the [`bom`](/components/sensor.bom/) sensor. The weather platform is easier to configure but less customizable.
