Met Office

The metoffice weather platform uses the Met Office’s [DataPoint API][datapoint] for weather data.

To add the Met Office weather platform to your installation, you’ll need to register for a free API key at the link above and then add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

weather:
  - platform: metoffice
    api_key: YOUR_API_KEY

Configuration variables:

• api_key (Required): Your personal API key from the Datapoint website.

This platform is an alternative to the metoffice sensor. The weather platform is easier to configure but less customizable.
