This component checks the weather forecast for several days in advance and concludes whether it is worth washing the car now.
I also suggest you visit the support topic on the community forum.
- Have HACS installed, this will allow you to easily manage and track updates.
- Search for "Car Wash".
- Click Install below the found integration.
... then if you want to use configuration.yaml to configure sensor...
- Add
car_washsensor to yourconfiguration.yamlfile. See configuration examples below. - Restart Home Assistant
- Using the tool of choice open the directory (folder) for your HA configuration (where you find
configuration.yaml). - If you do not have a
custom_componentsdirectory (folder) there, you need to create it. - In the
custom_componentsdirectory (folder) create a new folder calledcar_wash. - Download file
car_wash.zipfrom the latest release section in this repository. - Extract all files from this archive you downloaded in the directory (folder) you created.
... then if you want to use configuration.yaml to configure sensor...
- Add
car_washsensor to yourconfiguration.yamlfile. See configuration examples below. - Restart Home Assistant
# Example configuration.yaml entry

Note:
This sensor should work with any weather provider in any of it settings. But please note that the sensor cannot see further than the weather provider shows. Therefore, it is recommended to set thedailymode in the weather provider settings. If necessary, you can configure a separate weather provider instance especially for this sensor.
weather:
(string) (Required)
Weather provider entity ID.
unique_id
(string) (Optional)
An ID that uniquely identifies this sensor. Set this to a unique value to allow customization through the UI.
Note:
If you used the component version 1.4.0 or earlier, you can specify the special value__legacy__, so that no duplicates of already existing sensors are created.
The use of this special value in newly created sensors is not recommended.Another way is to manually delete all old sensors via Configuration > Entities. Then restart HA and all the _2’s were was the original sensors again complete with their history.
name:
(string) (Optional) (Default value: 'Car Wash')
Name to use in the frontend.
days:
(positive integer) (Optional) (Default value: 2)
The number of days how far forward the sensor looks for the weather forecast.
Follow the link to see example how you can use this sensor in automations.
Note:
You can find a real example of using this component in my Home Assistant configuration.
You can automatically track new versions of this component and update it by HACS.
To enable debug logs use this configuration:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
logger:
default: info
logs:
custom_components.car_wash: debug... then restart HA.
