The openweathermap platform uses [OpenWeatherMap](http://openweathermap.org/) as a source for meteorological data for your location.

You need an API key which is free but requires a registration.

To add OpenWeatherMap to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  platform: openweathermap
  api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
  monitored_conditions:
    - type: 'weather'
    - type: 'temperature'
    - type: 'wind_speed'
    - type: 'humidity'
    - type: 'pressure'
    - type: 'clouds'
    - type: 'rain'
    - type: 'snow'

Details about the API are available in the OpenWeatherMap documentation.
