The `metoffice` weather platform uses the Met Office's [DataPoint API][datapoint] for weather data.
|
|
|
|
## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
|
|
|
|
To add the Met Office weather platform to your installation, you'll need to register for a free API key at the link above and then add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
weather:
|
|
- platform: metoffice
|
|
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **api_key** (*Required*): Your personal API key from the [Datapoint website](http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/datapoint).
|
|
|
|
<p class='note'>
|
|
This platform is an alternative to the [`metoffice`](/components/sensor.metoffice/) sensor.
|
|
The weather platform is easier to configure but less customizable.
