Hi everyone. Sorry it took so long. The PR review team was overwhelmed and my update was stuck in limbo. It’s back on track now and I really hope it will be released in the next version.

So, what’s coming with this update:

Weather card for Lovelace
Easier configuration (city option will be a query, meaning you can specify a postal code, a city name or both to be sure you get the expected results)
Supports for worldwide cities ex: city: Luxembourg or city: Brest, Bielorussie

Caveats:

This is going to be a breaking change as the configuration will move from a sensor one to a whole meteo_france component. Be sure to look at the blog post and refer at the new documentation when updating

3. About the weather card for lovelace The Météo-France weather component is in progress. It works on my development environment and > I hope it will be released on the next version of Home Assistant in 2 weeks

Some updates ? I was going to post a bug report when realised it was already on the task list ! Thanks 😉

@adamotte I don’t know if there is a standard for this. If you need sensor for multiple locations, then it’s convenient to have them named by city. you could have sensor.paris_temperature along with sensor.lyon_temperature which are easy to read and make automations with Without naming the city you would have sensor.meteo_france_temperature and sensor.meteo_france_temperature_1

@anthosz It currently only work with cities from France I will add to the to-do list the possibility to add weather datas from the world
