# Integrates your SWS 12500 weather station seamlessly into Home Assistant
|
|
|
|
This integration will listen for data from your station and passes them to respective sensors. It also provides the ability to push data to Windy API.
|
|
|
|
*This custom component replaces [old integration via Node-RED and proxy server](https://github.com/schizza/WeatherStation-SWS12500).*
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- [Sencor SWS 12500 Weather Station](https://www.sencor.cz/profesionalni-meteorologicka-stanice/sws-12500).
|
|
- Configure station to send data directly to Home Assistant.
|
|
- If you want to push data to Windy, you have to create an account at [Windy](https://stations.windy.com).
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
### If your station's firmware is 1.0 or your station is configured as described in this README and you still can not see any data incoming to Home Assistant please [read here](https://github.com/schizza/SWS-12500-custom-component/issues/17) and [here](firmware_bug.md)
|
|
|
|
### HACS installation
|
|
For installation with HACS, you have to first add a [custom repository](https://hacs.xyz/docs/faq/custom_repositories/).
|
|
You will need to enter the URL of this repository when prompted: `https://github.com/schizza/SWS-12500-custom-component`.
|
|
|
|
After adding this repository to HACS:
|
|
- Go to HACS -> Integrations
|
|
- Search for the integration `Sencor SWS 12500 Weather station` and download the integration.
|
|
- Restart Home Assistant
|
|
- Now go to `Integrations` and add new integration. Search for `Sencor SWS 12500 Weather station` and select it.
|
|
|
|
### Manual installation
|
|
|
|
For manual installation you must have an access to your Home Assistant's `/config` folder.
|
|
|
|
- Clone this repository or download [latest release here](https://github.com/schizza/SWS-12500-custom-component/releases/latest).
|
|
|
|
- Copy the `custom_components/sws12500-custom-component` folder to your `config/custom_components` folder in Home Assistant.
|
|
- Restart Home Assistant.
|
|
- Now go to `Integrations` and add new integration `Sencor SWS 12500 Weather station`
|
|
|
|
## Configure your station in AP mode
|
|
|
|
1. Hold the Wi-Fi button on the back of the station for 6 seconds until the AP will flash on the display.
|
|
2. Select your station from available APs on your computer.
|
|
3. Connect to the station's setup page: `http://192.168.1.1` from your browser.
|
|
4. In the third URL section fill in the address to your local Home Assistant installation.
|
|
5. Create new `ID` and `KEY`. You can use [online tool](https://www.allkeysgenerator.com/Random/Security-Encryption-Key-Generator.aspx) to generate random keys. *(you will need them to configure integation to Home Assistatnt)*
|
|
6. Save your configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once integration is added to Home Assistant, configuration dialog will ask you for `API_ID` and `API_KEY` as you set them in your station:
|
|
|
|
```plain
|
|
API_ID: ID in station's config
|
|
API_KEY: PASSWORD in station's config
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you chanage `API ID` or `API KEY` in the station, you have to reconfigure integration to accept data from your station.
|
|
|
|
- In `Settings` -> `Devices & services` find SWS12500 and click `Configure`.
|
|
- In dialog box choose `Basic - Configure credentials`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As soon as the integration is added into Home Assistant it will listen for incoming data from the station and starts to fill sensors as soon as data will first arrive.
|
|
|
|
## Resending data to Windy API
|
|
|
|
- First of all you need to create account at [Windy stations](https://stations.windy.com).
|
|
- Once you have an account created, copy your Windy API Key.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- In `Settings` -> `Devices & services` find SWS12500 and click `Configure`.
|
|
- In dialog box choose `Windy configuration`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Fill in `Key` you were provided at `Windy stations`.
|
|
- Tick `Enable` checkbox.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- You are done. |
