Weather

The Weather integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more. [Learn more] gather meteorological information from web services and display the conditions and other details about the weather at the given location.

Note

Building block integration

This weather is a building block integration that cannot be added to your Home Assistant directly but is used and provided by other integrations.

A building block integration differs from the typical integration that connects to a device or service. Instead, other integrations that do integrate a device or service into Home Assistant use this weather building block to provide entities, services, and other functionality that you can use in your automations or dashboards.

If one of your integrations features this building block, this page documents the functionality the weather building block offers.

For a list of weather integrations, on the integrations page, select the weather category.

Home Assistant currently supports free web services some of which require registration.
