Weather Entity

Weather Entity

Overview

The integration creates a single weather entity: weather.kachelmannwetter

It supports both daily and hourly forecast types, which can be displayed in the standard HA weather card.

Current Conditions

The weather entity shows:

Attribute	Description
temperature	Current temperature (°C)
humidity	Relative humidity (%)
pressure	Sea-level pressure (hPa)
wind_speed	Wind speed (km/h)
wind_bearing	Wind direction (°)
condition	HA weather condition string

Entity Picture

Since v2.3.0, the weather entity displays the official Kachelmann SVG weather symbol as entity_picture. The icon updates dynamically based on the current weather condition from the API.

Condition Mapping

The integration maps Kachelmann's weatherSymbol to Home Assistant conditions:

Kachelmann Symbol	HA Condition
sunshine	sunny / clear-night
partlycloudy / partlycloudy2	partlycloudy
cloudy / overcast	cloudy
fog	fog
rain / raindrizzle / showers / showers_moderate / showers_rain_light	rainy

snow / snowheavy / snowshowers / snowshowersheavy	snowy
snowrain / snowrainshowers	snowy-rainy
freezingrain	exceptional
hail	hail
wind	windy
windvariant	windy-variant

At nighttime (isDay = false), sunny becomes clear-night automatically.

Daily Forecast

The daily forecast is aggregated from the 6-hourly endpoint (/advanced/6h) and enriched with precipitation probability from the 14-day trend:

• Temperature: Max of all 6h periods
• Templow: Min of all 6h periods
• Precipitation: Sum of all 6h periods
• Condition: "Worst" condition of the day (e.g., thunderstorm > rain > cloudy > sunny)
• Wind: Max gust of the day
• Precipitation probability: From 14-day trend (≥1mm threshold)

Hourly Forecast

The hourly forecast comes from the /advanced/1h endpoint and provides 24 hours ahead with full detail.
