The `openweathermap` weather platform uses [OpenWeatherMap](http://openweathermap.org/) as a source for current meteorological data for your location.
|
|
|
|
You need an API key which is free but requires a [registration](http://home.openweathermap.org/users/sign_up).
|
|
|
|
To add OpenWeatherMap to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
weather:
|
|
- platform: openweathermap
|
|
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **api_key** (*Required*): Your API key for http://openweathermap.org/.
|
|
- **name** (*Optional*): Name to use in the frontend.
|
|
- **latitude** (*Optional*): Latitude of the location to display the weather. Defaults to the latitude in your `configuration.yaml` file.
|
|
- **longitude** (*Optional*): Longitude of the location to display the weather. Defaults to the longitude in your `configuration.yaml` file.
|
|
|
|
<p class='note'>
|
|
This platform is an alternative to the [`openweathermap`](/components/sensor.openweathermap/) sensor.
