Home Assistant Weather Records
Store long-term weather records (such as high/low temperatures, maximum wind speed, and rainfall totals) in Home Assistant using standard helpers and automations.
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).
Step Two: Configure configuration.yaml
Add the following include lines to your configuration.yaml so Home Assistant loads the required helpers:
input_number: !include weather_numbers.yaml
input_datetime: !include weather_datetimes.yaml
Step Three: Create Automations
For each of the 6 automation files provided in the repository:
- Go to Settings > Automations & Scenes > Create Automation > Create New Automation in your Home Assistant UI.
- Click the three dots in the top right corner and select Edit in YAML.
- 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. - 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.).
