KODI weather forecast from HomeAssistant

Instructions

In order to make it work there are a couple of actions which have to be performed on both HomeAssistant and Kodi.

1. In Home Assistant you have to create template for the weather forecast. For example, like this:

• Add the following in configuration.yaml:
  • template: !include forecasts.yaml
• then create forecasts.yaml file
• in forecasts.yaml file create the following:

  - trigger:
        - platform: event #update at startup#
          event_type: homeassistant_started
        - platform: event
          event_type:
            - automation_reloaded
            - scene_reloaded
        - platform: time_pattern
          minutes: /15 #then update every hour#
      action:
        - service: weather.get_forecasts #update hourly forecasts#
          target:
            entity_id: weather.forecast_home #replace with your own weather integration
          data:
            type: hourly
          response_variable: hourly
        - service: weather.get_forecasts #update daily forecasts#
          target:
            entity_id: weather.forecast_home
          data:
            type: daily
          response_variable: daily
      sensor:
        - name: "DailyWeather"
          state: "{{ states('weather.forecast_home') }}"
          unique_id: weather_daily_all_in_one

• Reboot Home Assistant
• Create Long Live token:
  • get to your Profile page on Home Assistant by clicking on your username in the bottom left panel of the HA page (under Notifications)
  • then click on Create Token all the way at the bottom
  • give it a meaningful name and then copy it for use in your application.

3. In Kodi You have to do the following:

• Install plugin
• In settings put the long live token and url to your Home Assistant server
• Check the api urls
• Done. Enjoy :)
