The metoffice weather platform uses the Met Office's DataPoint API for weather data.
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:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
weather:
- platform: metoffice
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
{% configuration %}
api_key:
description: "Your personal API key from the Datapoint website."
required: true
type: string
name:
description: Additional name for the weather integration in Home Assistant.
required: false
type: string
default: Met Office
latitude:
description: "Latitude coordinate to monitor weather of (required if longitude is specified), defaults to coordinates defined in your configuration.yaml."
required: inclusive
type: float
longitude:
description: "Longitude coordinate to monitor weather of (required if latitude is specified), defaults to coordinates defined in your configuration.yaml."
required: inclusive
type: float
{% endconfiguration %}
This platform is an alternative to the [`metoffice`](/components/sensor.metoffice/) sensor. The weather platform is easier to configure but less customizable.
