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.
|
|
|
|
To add the BOM weather platform to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
weather:
|
|
- platform: bom
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **name** (*Optional*): The name you would like to give to the weather station.
|
|
- **station** (*Optional*): The station ID string; defaults to the closest station. See the [`sensor.bom` docs](/components/sensor.bom/) for details on how to find the ID of a station.
|
|
|
|
<p class='note'>
|
|
This platform is an alternative to the [`bom`](/components/sensor.bom/) sensor.
|
|
The weather platform is easier to configure but less customisable.
