The `bom` weather platform uses the [Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM)](http://www.bom.gov.au) as a source for current (half-hourly) meteorological data.
|
|
|
|
## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
|
|
|
|
To add the BOM weather platform to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
weather:
|
|
- platform: bom
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% configuration %}
|
|
name:
|
|
description: The name you would like to give to the weather station.
|
|
required: optional
|
|
type: string
|
|
station:
|
|
description: "The station ID string. See the [`sensor.bom` docs](/components/sensor.bom/) for details on how to find the ID of a station."
|
|
required: optional
|
|
default: The closest station
|
|
type: string
|
|
{% endconfiguration %}
|

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