Weather data

Replaces the old yr sensor.

Install it as a custom component or use https://hacs.xyz/docs/faq/custom_repositories.

To migrate from the old yr sensor, replace - platform: yr with - platform: weather_data. All sensor entities should be unchanged.

The weather_data platform uses met.no as a source for current meteorological data for your location. The weather forecast is delivered by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute and the NRK.

To add the weather data to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry

  - platform: weather_data
