This card is a modification of a fork of iammexx/home-assistant-config dark-sky-weather-card
NOTE: This card REQUIRES the BOM Sensor core component and the BOM FTP Forecast Custom Component. See links below.
The BOM Weather Card provides current and forecasted weather conditions using the BOM sensor platforms in core Home Assistant and a custom component for BOM Forecast from my forecast repo here You configure the card by passing in sensor entities from these BOM platforms.
The weather package in the BOM Forecast component contains BOM Sensor platform configuration for this card as well. Both the core BOM Sensor and BOM Forecast custom component are REQUIRED to use this card.
The card is very customizable. You can configure many aspects of it's look and feel as well as which specific content to show by passing in customization flags and defining optional sensors. Content can also be rearranged if desired.
Hovering over a forecast day will display the daily weather summary in a tooltip popup if that option has been enabled.
This plugin is now part of the default HACS store. You should not need to add it manually. Add this repo https://github.com/DavidFW1960/bom-weather-card
-
Install card from HACS as per other plugins. Note that you must add this card as a module to the resources section as per the instructions when you install the card.
-
Download the amcharts icons from https://www.amcharts.com/dl/svg-weather-icons/ and put them in
<config-dir>/www/icons/weather_icons. Create the directories if necessary. NOTE: I have found a few more svg icons (from here https://github.com/SouthernWolf95/amCharts-SVG-Icons-Additions ) to use in this component so ALL icons required are in this file here
-
Add
bom-weather-card.jsto your<config-dir>/www/custom_ui/directory. If you don't have this directory (this is your first custom card), you will need to create it. -
Download the amcharts icons from https://www.amcharts.com/dl/svg-weather-icons/ and put them in
<config-dir>/www/icons/weather_icons. Create the directories if necessary. NOTE: I have found a few more svg icons to use in this component so ALL icons required are in this file here
You should end up with the following folders:
<config-dir>/www/custom_ui/bom-weather-card.js
OR HACS
<config-dir>/www/community/bom-weather-card/bom-weather-card.js
<config-dir>/www/icons/weather_icons/animated/
<config-dir>/www/icons/weather_icons/static/
- IF You don't use the package weather.yaml, Add the BOM sensor platform to your configuration.yaml or sensors.yaml or wherever you keep your sensor configuration.
- platform: bom
station: !secret my_bom_station
name: !secret my_bom_name
monitored_conditions:
- apparent_t
- delta_t
- gust_kmh
- gust_kt
- air_temp
- dewpt
- rain_trace
- rel_hum
- wind_dir
- wind_spd_kmh
- wind_spd_kt
Note that different weather stations have different monitored conditions available. Some include pressure for example. See the BOM Sensor docs to see other options and try them with your weather station. I am also using secrets.yaml to set station and name.
YOU MUST also install and configure the Custom Component BOM FTP Forecast for this card.
The next two steps are completed differently based on the version of HA you are using:
- Pre 0.84 or if using yaml mode in 0.84 or above : Add to your ui-lovelace.yaml file.
- Using storage mode in 0.84 or above use the "Raw Config Editor" to add the reference and definition to the config.
-
Add the card reference at the top of the configuration
Note: Ensure type is set to module and not js
Note: /local/ points to the<config-dir>/www/dir. Note: /community_plugin/ points to the<config-dir>/www/community/dir.
For a HACS Installation:
resources:
- url: /community_plugin/bom-weather-card/bom-weather-card.js
type: module
For the manual installation:
resources:
- url: /local/custom_ui/bom-weather-card.js?v=0.1
type: module
- Add the card definition: There are required / optional and flag entries. NOTE: My entries show a mix of the FTP Component sensors and this platform's sensors. All my values refer to Gosford entities.. You will need to edit these to match your sensors names.
Required entries must be present in your configuration. The card will not work at all if any of these lines are missing. EDIT gosford to match your observations/forecasts

Optional entries add components to the card. My BOM area (Gosford) does not include visibility or pressure. Edit entities to your correct sensor names. Replace Gosford with your name.
***Please note entity_pop_1 to 5 lines must all be included for daily pop (probability of precip) to show in forecast
***Also note that for daily possible rainfall to show, entity_possible_today as well as the 5 entity_pos_1 to 5 lines are needed.
***Also note that the name for tomorrow's possible rainfall has changed!

- daytime_high
- wind
- visibility
- sun_next (the next sun event ... sunset or sunrise)
- sun_following (The following sun event ... if sun_next is a sunset then this will be the following sunrise and vice versa)
- pop (probability of precipitation)
- humidity
- pressure
- daytime_low
- possible_today (possible rainfall today)
- possible_tomorrow (possible rainfall tomorrow)
- empty (empty slot... the slot below does not rise to fill the space)
- remove (same as empty but the slot below rises to take the place of the slot)
