Template Weather Provider
The template integrations creates weather provider that combines integrations and an existing weather provider into a fused weather provider.
There are several powerful ways to use this integration, including localizing your weather provider information with local information from temperature, humidity, pressure sensors that you own.
Another use case could be using temperature and humidity from one weather platform, with forecasts from a different one.
Output will be converted according to the user’s unit system or entity override, see documentation.
Configuration
To enable a Template Weather provider in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
(Note, be sure to update my_region in the condition and forecast templates to an appropriate value for your setup).
# Example configuration.yaml entry
weather:
- platform: template
name: "My Weather Station"
condition_template: "{{ states('weather.my_region') }}"
temperature_template: "{{ states('sensor.temperature') | float }}"
temperature_unit: "°C"
humidity_template: "{{ states('sensor.humidity') | float }}"
forecast_template: "{{ state_attr('weather.my_region', 'forecast') }}"
Configuration Variables
An ID that uniquely identifies this weather entity. Set this to a unique value to allow customization through the UI.
The current weather condition.
The current temperature.
Unit for temperature_template output. Valid options are °C, °F and K.
The current humidity.
The current air pressure.
Unit for pressure_template output. Valid options are Pa, hPa, kPa, bar, cbar, mbar, mmHg, inHg, psi.
The current wind speed.
Unit for wind_speed_template output. Valid options are m/s, km/h, mph, mm/d, in/d, in/h.
The current wind bearing.
The current ozone level.
The current visibility.
Unit for visibility_template output. Valid options are km, mi, ft, m, cm, mm, in, yd.
Daily forecast data.
Template variables
State-based template entities have the special template variable this available in their templates. The this variable aids self-referencing of an entity’s state and attribute in templates.
