The `openweathermap` weather platform uses [OpenWeatherMap](http://openweathermap.org/) as an 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
latitude: 46.1234
longitude: 7.1234
```
Configuration variables:
- **api_key** (*Required*): Your API key for http://openweathermap.org/.
- **latitude** (*Optional*): Latitude of the location to display the weather. Defaults to the latitude in your 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.
