The weather in every screen’s header, the Weather page, and the Weather Alerts chip all read the same settings: HK Settings → All Screens → Weather.

All Screens → Weather. The weather entity is all you need; every sensor is optional.

The Weather page in HK Settings

Setting Default What it does
Weather Service First Weather Entity The weather entity every screen reads.
Place Your home’s name, in capitals The name over the temperature on the Weather page.
Sensors None Opens the sensors below.
Radar Map Default Opens the radar map’s options (below).

Sensors. When a sensor is empty, the value comes from the weather entity.

Setting Default What it does
Feels Like From Weather Service The feels-like temperature on the weather band.
Humidity From Weather Service Humidity on the weather band.
Wind Speed From Weather Service Wind on the weather band and the wind tile, in the sensor’s own unit.
Wind Gust Not Shown Gusts on the wind tile.
UV Index None The Weather page’s UV tile appears only with a UV sensor.
Outside Temperature Not Shown A temperature sensor outdoors. The Weather page shows its daily averages for the week.
Daily Forecast From Weather Service A sensor with a forecast attribute.
Hourly Forecast From Weather Service A sensor with a forecast attribute.
Weather Alerts None A sensor from the NWS Alerts integration (HACS). Its state is the number of alerts. With it, the Weather Alerts chip and the alert card show while an alert is active.

If the weather entity offers no forecast, the band shows none and asks again later.
