The metoffice weather platform uses the Met Office's DataPoint API for weather data.
Configuration
To add the Met Office weather platform to your installation, you'll need to register for a free API key at the link above and then go to Configuration >> Integrations in the UI, click the button with + sign and from the list of integrations select Met Office. Multiple entries can be configured, but a unique set of latitude and longitude must be supplied for each.
A number of weather entities are created for each entry created in the configuration by location: one weather entity with a summary of the 3-hourly forecasts and twelve sensor entities for individual reporting on each of the individual measurements. The time supplied for each forecast is the start time for the forecast.
| Entity | Description | Enabled by default |
|---|---|---|
| weather.met_office_site name | Weather entity with state of the current weather condition and attributes of temperature, humidity, wind speed and visibility. | Yes. |
| sensor.site name_feels_like_temperature | Sensor entity giving the current forecast 'feels like' temperature. | No. |
| sensor.site name_humidity | Sensor entity giving the current forecast humidity. | No. |

| sensor.site name_temperature | Sensor entity giving the current forecast temperature. | Yes. |
| sensor.site name_uv_index | Sensor entity giving the current forecast UV index. | No. |
| sensor.site name_visibility | Sensor entity giving the current forecast visibility classification. | No. |
| sensor.site name_visibility_distance | Sensor entity giving the current forecast visibility distance (as a range). | No. |
| sensor.site name_weather | Sensor entity giving the current forecast weather conditions. | Yes. |
