Preparation

• Under Configured, locate the Bureau of Meteorology integration and select it

• Click on the cog to configure:

• Enter the Latitude and Longitude that you obtained above, then press Submit

• Leave the Weather Entity Name as weather.home. This is very important, do not change it to anything else or your BOM forecasts will not work.

• Make sure the Customise Additional Sensors are all ticked.

• Keep the Change Observation Sensors exactly how they are and do not change the basename to anything other than home.

• The Change Forecast Sensors should be kept as default, with Home as the basename and the full 7 days of forecase days.

• Keep the Warnings Sensor name as Home

Once complete, you will be presented with the Success prompt.
