The `openweathermap` platform uses [OpenWeatherMap](http://openweathermap.org/) as an source for current meteorological data for your location. The `forecast` will show you the condition in 3 h.
You need an API key which is free but requires a [registration](http://home.openweathermap.org/users/sign_up).
To add OpenWeatherMap to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
platform: openweathermap
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
forecast: 0 or 1
monitored_conditions:
- weather
- temperature
- wind_speed
- humidity
- pressure
- clouds
- rain
- snow
```
Configuration variables:
- **api_key** (*Required*): Your API key for http://openweathermap.org/.
- **forecast** (*Optional*): Enables the forecast. The default is to display the current conditions.
- **monitored_conditions** array (*Required*): Conditions to display in the frontend.
- **weather**: A human-readable text summary.
- **temperature**: The current temperature.
- **wind_speed**: The wind speed.
- **humidity**: The relative humidity.
- **pressure**: The sea-level air pressure in millibars.
- **clouds**: Description about cloud coverage.
- **rain**: The rain volume.
- **snow**: The snow volume
Details about the API are available in the [OpenWeatherMap documentation](http://bugs.openweathermap.org/projects/api/wiki).
Only metric measurements are supported at the moment.
