The `zamg` platform uses meteorological details published by the Austrian weather service
[Zentralanstalt für Meteorologie und Geodynamik (ZAMG)](https://www.zamg.ac.at).

Only observations for capital cities are publically available.  You can check the
list of stations in [CSV format](http://www.zamg.ac.at/ogd).

To add ZAMG to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
weather:
  - platform: zamg
```

Configuration variables:

- **station_id** (*Optional*): The ID number for a supported ZAMG station.
- **name** (*Optional*): A name for the weather platform.

<p class='note'>
This platform is an alternative to the [`zamg`](/components/sensor.zamg/) sensor.
The weather platform is easier to configure but less customisable.
