Hi @DavidFW1960

I've installed the bom_forecast as a HACS Integration.

I'm getting "Unknown" for the sensor.bom_forecast_0 and all other forecast sensors.

I'm sorry I a newbie so I'm sure its me not understanding something in the way I've installed this.

I thought I had followed all the instructions carefully.

configuration.yaml has the lines
homeassistant:
packages: !include_dir_named packages

the config/packages folder has weather.yaml
the secrets.yaml has the following lines

my_bom_station: IDV60801.95936
my_bom_name: Melbourne
my_bom_product_id: IDV60801

Hi, trying to get the weather to show the forecast as per your guide. But when I add the card it only shows current temp. I think I am getting confused some where.
In HACS I have the BOM weather card, but in the dashboard when I go to add it I can only see the standard forecast card and custom weather card.
In Dashboard I select the custom weather card and in the drop down entity weather.bom_terrey_hills but it just shows current temp and all the other variables.

I have the folder /config/custom_components/bom_forecast installed via HAC and has the relevant files installed.
This is my configuration.yaml file.

• platform: bom
  station: IDN60901.94759

  #product_id: IDN11060
  name: Terrey Hills #In my examples I use Gosford
  forecast_days: 6
  rest_of_today: true
  friendly: false
  friendly_state_format: '{max}, {summary}'
  monitored_conditions:
  • 'max'
  • 'min'
  • 'chance_of_rain'
  • 'possible_rainfall'
  • 'summary'
  • 'detailed_summary'
  • 'icon'
  • 'uv_alert'
  • 'fire_danger'

I understand that you are using your own icons for this repo and not the mdi icons, however can I suggest that you create a new attribute called entity_picture. This can use your icons and leave the icons attribute as original.

It helps this integration work more globally instead of just your use case.

Hi there, thanks for building this custom integration. I've installed via HACS and used the weather.yaml package pre-0.115.x. Using Melbourne as my location, I did a find and replace on 'gosford' for 'melbourne' and these are my bom station/product/name configs:

my_bom_station: 
my_bom_name: Melbourne
my_bom_product_id: IDV10450

My problem is that I'm getting all forecasts come through except for the min temp of today:

I've tried forcing an update via the homeassistant.updateentity restarting home assistant. Logs don't show anything sinister in particular.

Here are all my min_0 blocks of yaml:

      bom_forecast_0:
        entity_id:
          - sensor.bom_today_max
          - sensor.bom_today_min
          - sensor.bom_melbourne_chance_of_rain_0
          - sensor.bom_melbourne_icon_0
        friendly_name: "Today"
        value_template: >
          {{states('sensor.bom_today_max')|round(0)}}°/{{states('sensor.bom_today_min')|round(0)}}°/{{states('sensor.bom_melbourne_chance_of_rain_0')|round(0)}}%
        entity_picture_template: >-
          {%- if states('sun.sun') == 'below_horizon' and (states('sensor.bom_melbourne_icon_0') == 'fog' or states('sensor.bom_melbourne_icon_0') == 'haze' or states('sensor.bom_melbourne_icon_0') == 'light-showers' or states('sensor.bom_melbourne_icon_0') == 'partly-cloudy' or states('sensor.bom_melbourne_icon_0') == 'showers') -%}
          {{ '/local/icons/bom_icons/' ~ states('sensor.bom_melbourne_icon_0') ~ '-night.png' }}
          {%- else -%}
          {{ '/local/icons/bom_icons/' ~ states('sensor.bom_melbourne_icon_0') ~ '.png' }}
          {%- endif -%}

      bom_today_min:
        entity_id:
          - sensor.bom_melbourne_min_temp_c_0
          - sensor.today_temp_bom
        value_template: >
          {%- if states('sensor.bom_melbourne_min_temp_c_0') == 'n/a' -%} 
            {{ state_attr('sensor.today_temp_bom', 'min_value') }}
          {% else %}
            {{ states('sensor.bom_melbourne_min_temp_c_0') }}
          {% endif %}

Any ideas on how to get this one working?

Can't get this to work, Using the Melbourne forecast location. Using weather.yaml and packages. Not sure where the bom icons go either?

• platform: bom_forecast
  product_id: IDV10450
  name: Watsonia
  forecast_days: 6
  rest_of_today: true
  friendly: false
  friendly_state_format: '{max}, {summary}'
  monitored_conditions:
  • 'max'
  • 'min'
  • 'chance_of_rain'
  • 'possible_rainfall'
  • 'summary'
  • 'detailed_summary'
  • 'icon'
  • 'uv_alert'
  • 'fire_danger'

Hi,

I have used HACS to install and when I add this to my config file:

# BOM Weather
  - platform: bom_forecast
    product_id: IDV10450
    name: Melbourne
    forecast_days: 6
    rest_of_today: true
    friendly: false
    friendly_state_format: '{max}, {summary}'
    monitored_conditions:
      - 'max'
      - 'min'
      - 'chance_of_rain'
      - 'possible_rainfall'
      - 'summary'
      - 'detailed_summary'
      - 'icon'
      - 'uv_alert'
      - 'fire_danger'

I get:
Platform error weather.bom_forecast - No module named 'custom_components.bom_forecast.weather'

when I check my config

I have this in my custom components folder that HACS installed:

How can I resolve this?

Thanks in advance

Hi David,
Recently found a bit more reliable way for myself to track the weather. https://weather.bom.gov.au/location/r659gg5-gosford. It has json API behind and I think easier to parse data. This is just in case you missed that site (for me I found it accidentally and haven't heard before).
Thank you for your plugin anyway!!!
Dmitry

Hi,

Trying to setup the BOM Forecast module and I seem to be running into difficulty in getting it up and running :-(

I have tried manual installation, installing through HACS and manually "helping" the installation by providing the template and sensors using the HACS install side by side, nothing I do seems to be working, I am running HA on Hyper V from the HA provided virtual disk, weather is setup and running as it should.

The error that HA is throwing on each restart is:

2020-10-13 22:47:47 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.sensor] Error while setting up bom_forecast platform for sensor

    raise error_perm(resp)

I am sure I am likely just doing something incorrect, any help you could provide would be much appreciated!

I'm not running the alternative install version so never had the fancy icons. But my bom_forecast Lovelace card did show the standard md:icons for the dynamic conditions. Something has changed in either this platform or in the last HA update (0.106.x) that has resulted in these icons no longer showing up.

Thanks for this amazing integration. Finally get it work.
There's one warning in the HA log.

The 'entity_id' option is deprecated, please remove it from your configuration

I believe this is due to entity_id is used in weather.yaml. Not sure how to remove entity_id in that template. Would you please help? Thanks.
