Sensor of Apparent Temperature for Home Assistant

Installation

Install from HACS (recommended)

1. Have HACS installed, this will allow you to easily manage and track updates.
2. Search in HACS for "Apparent Temperature" integration or just press the button below:
   
3. Click Install below the found integration.

... then if you want to use configuration.yaml to configure sensor...

1. Add apparent_temperature sensor to your configuration.yaml file. See configuration examples below.
2. Restart Home Assistant

Manual installation

1. Using the tool of choice open the directory (folder) for your HA configuration (where you find configuration.yaml).
2. If you do not have a custom_components directory (folder) there, you need to create it.
3. In the custom_components directory (folder) create a new folder called apparent_temperature.
4. Download file apparent_temperature.zip from the latest release section in this repository.
5. Extract all files from this archive you downloaded in the directory (folder) you created.
6. Restart Home Assistant

... then if you want to use configuration.yaml to configure sensor...

1. Add apparent_temperature sensor to your configuration.yaml file. See configuration examples below.
2. Restart Home Assistant

Configuration Examples

Weather Entity Example

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: apparent_temperature
    source: weather.home

Independent Temperature and Humidity Entities Example

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: apparent_temperature
    name: 'Basement Feels Like Temperature'
    source:
      - sensor.basement_temperature
      - sensor.basement_humidity

Configuration Variables

source:
(string | list of strings) (Required)
Weather provider entity ID or climate entity ID or list of sensors entity IDs.
For calculations sensor uses temperature, humidity and wind speed values. Temperature and humidity values is required. Wind speed value is optional.
Weather provider provide all values. Climate object provide only temperature and humidity.

Note:
You can use groups of entities as a data source. These groups will be automatically expanded to individual entities.

Note:
If you specify several sources of the same type of data (for example, a weather provider and a separate temperature sensor), the sensor uses only one of them as a source (the one that will be the last in the list). Therefore, the result of calculations can be unpredictable.

name:
(string) (Optional) (Default value: name of first source + " Apparent Temperature")
Name to use in the frontend.

unique_id
(string) (Optional)
An ID that uniquely identifies this sensor. Set this to a unique value to allow customization through the UI.

Note: You can use site uuidgenerator.net to generate unique ID's.

Track updates

You can automatically track new versions of this component and update it by HACS.

Troubleshooting

To enable debug logs use this configuration:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
logger:
  default: info
  logs:
    custom_components.apparent_temperature: debug

... then restart HA.
