The `darksky` platform uses the [Dark Sky](https://darksky.net/) web service as a source for meteorological data for your location. The location is based on the `longitude` and `latitude` coordinates configured in your `configuration.yaml` file. The coordinates are auto-detected but to take advantage of the hyper-local weather reported by Dark Sky, you can refine them down to your exact home address. GPS coordinates can be found by using [Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps) and clicking on your home or [Openstreetmap](http://www.openstreetmap.org/).
|
|
|
|
You need an API key which is free but requires [registration](https://darksky.net/dev/register). You can make up to 1000 calls per day for free which means that you could make one approximately every 86 seconds.
|
|
|
|
<p class='note warning'>
|
|
[Dark Sky](https://darksky.net/) will charge you $0.0001 per API call if you enter your credit card details and create more than 1000 calls per day.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
To add Dark Sky to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|

Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **api_key** (*Required*): Your API key.
|
|
- **name** (*Optional*): Additional name for the sensors. Default to platform name.
|
|
- **monitored_conditions** array (*Required*): Conditions to display in the frontend.
|
|
- **summary**: A human-readable text summary of the current conditions.
|
|
- **precip_type**: The type of precipitation occurring.
|
|
- **precip_intensity**: The average expected intensity of precipitation occurring.
|
|
- **precip_probability**: A value between 0 and 1 which is representing the probability of precipitation.
|
|
- **temperature**: The current temperature.
|
|
- **apparent_temperature**: A numerical value representing the apparent (or "feels like") temperature.
|
|
- **dew_point**: The dew point.
|
|
- **wind_speed**: The wind speed.
|
|
- **wind_bearing**: Where the wind is coming from in degrees, with true north at 0° and progressing clockwise.
|
|
- **cloud_cover**: The percentage of sky occluded by clouds.
|
|
- **humidity**: The relative humidity.
|
|
- **pressure**: The sea-level air pressure in millibars.
|
|
- **visibility**: The average visibility.
|
|
- **ozone**: The columnar density of total atmospheric ozone in Dobson.
|
|
- **minutely_summary**: A human-readable text summary for the next hour.
|
|
- **hourly_summary**: A human-readable text summary for the next 24 hours.
|
|
- **daily_summary**: A human-readable text summary for the next 7 days.
|
|
- **temperature_max**: Today's expected high temperature.
|
|
- **temperature_min**: Today's expected low temperature.
|
|
- **apparent_temperature_max**: Today's expected apparent high temperature.
|
|
- **apparent_temperature_min**: Today's expected apparent low temperature.
|
|
- **precip_intensity_max**: Today's expected maximum intensity of precipitation.
|
|
- **units** (*Optional*): Specify the unit system. Default to `si` or `us` based on the temperature preference in Home Assistant. Other options are `auto`, `us`, `si`, `ca`, and `uk2`.
|
|
`auto` will let Dark Sky decide the unit system based on location.
|
|
- **update_inverval** (*Optional*): Minimum time interval between updates. Default is 2 minutes. Supported formats:
|
|
- `update_interval: 'HH:MM:SS'`
|
|
- `update_interval: 'HH:MM'`
|
|
- Time period dictionary, e.g.:
|
|
<pre>update_interval:
|
|
# At least one of these must be specified:
|
|
days: 0
|
|
hours: 0
|
|
minutes: 3
|
|
seconds: 30
|
|
milliseconds: 0
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|

|
Note: While the platform is called "darksky" the sensors will show up in Home Assistant as "dark_sky" (eg: sensor.dark_sky_summary).
