Store long-term weather records (such as high/low temperatures, maximum wind speed, and rainfall totals) in Home Assistant using standard helpers and automations. Store long-term weather records (such as high/low temperatures, maximum wind speed, and rainfall totals) in Home Assistant using standard helpers and automations.
## Prerequisites ### Step One: Add Helper Files
Place weather_numbers.yaml and weather_datetimes.yaml in your main Home Assistant configuration directory (where your configuration.yaml is located).
Before installing the automations, you need to create the required helper entities. Go to **Settings > Devices & Services > Helpers** in Home Assistant and create the following items: ### Step Two: Configure `configuration.yaml`
Add the following include lines to your `configuration.yaml` so Home Assistant loads the required helpers:
### Input Numbers ```yaml
* `input_number.day_temp_max` input_number: !include weather_numbers.yaml
* `input_number.day_temp_min` input_datetime: !include weather_datetimes.yaml
* `input_number.day_wind_max` ```
* `input_number.highest_daily_recorded_rainfall`
* `input_number.highest_weekly_recorded_rainfall` ### Step Three: Create Automations
* `input_number.highest_monthly_recorded_rainfall`
* `input_number.highest_recorded_temp` For each of the 6 automation files provided in the repository:
* `input_number.lowest_recorded_temp`
* `input_number.highest_recorded_wind_speed` 1. Go to **Settings > Automations & Scenes > Create Automation > Create New Automation** in your Home Assistant UI.
* `input_number.last_month_rain` 2. Click the three dots in the top right corner and select **Edit in YAML**.
* `input_number.rain_yesterday` 3. Replace with the contents of the respective automation file, paste it into the editor, and replace the placeholder sensor tags (e.g., `<OUTDOOR TEMP SENSOR>`, `<WIND SENSOR>`, `<DAILY RAIN SENSOR>`, etc.) with your actual weather station entity IDs.
4. Save the automation.
*Note: In the temperature and wind records automation, ensure your notification service call matches your preferred platform (such as `gotify.send`, `notify.persistent_notification`, etc.).*
### Input Datetimes
* `input_datetime.day_temp_max_time`
* `input_datetime.day_temp_min_time`
* `input_datetime.highest_daily_rainfall_date`
* `input_datetime.highest_weekly_rainfall_date`
* `input_datetime.highest_monthly_rainfall_date`
* `input_datetime.highest_temp_date`
* `input_datetime.lowest_temp_date`
* `input_datetime.highest_wind_speed_date`

## Installation
1. Create all the helper entities listed above.
2. Copy the automation files into your Home Assistant `automations.yaml` or include them via separate automation files.
3. **Important:** Open the imported automations and replace the placeholder sensor entities (e.g., `gw1100a_v2_2_3_###`) with your actual weather station entity IDs.
4. Reload your automations in Home Assistant.
