Weather information from vedur.is. The weather card is named weather.vedur_is
. Just add this as any other normal weather card. The integration calls XML services as specified in Gagnaveita - XML þjónusta every 10 minutes for temperature data and every hour for forecast data. The XML data is cached locally in folder /config/www/vedur_is.
Default weather station is Reykjavík with id=1. You can find out other ids by checking Veðurstöðvar. Click on Upplýsingar
and find out the Stöðvanúmer
. You can then go to Developer tools
and find the entity input_number.vedur_vedurstod
and change the state to the selected id number or simply add this entity to a dashboard and modify the station id directly there.
You can display vedur.is weather description for the capital Reykjavik and the whole country in a markdown card by adding a mark down card and specifying for example this content:
**<ha-icon icon="mdi:weather-cloudy"></ha-icon> {{ states('sensor.vedur_text_capital') }}**
{{ state_attr('sensor.vedur_text_capital','text') }}
**<ha-icon icon="mdi:weather-cloudy"></ha-icon> {{ states('sensor.vedur_text_country') }}**
{{ state_attr('sensor.vedur_text_country','text') }}
