Sensors Unknown or non-existent? about env_canada HOT 11 CLOSED

It's likely that the station that's being used just doesn't have values for those sensors. If you open one of the sensors with data, what are the values for the location and station attributes?

from env_canada.

Toronto Buttonville Municipal Airport

from env_canada.

That seems consistent with what the page for that station is showing: https://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/on-85_metric_e.html. It was likely automatically selected as the closest to your location.

It looks like Pickering or Toronto might be your best bets for more complete data. You can override the automatic station selection as described in the documentation at https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/environment_canada/. You could also have two copies of the integration running with different stations, if you wanted to use some data from each.

Let me know if you have any trouble.

How do I have multiple copies of the integration?

from env_canada.

Like this, the first one will be the closest (Buttonville), then the second one will be Toronto.

It seems now after adding the second sensor to my config my original sensors have gone unavailable

from env_canada.

Ok after updating to HA version 0.111.0 both sensor configs have loaded however some entities are still unavailable, is this expected? Thanks for all your help

from env_canada.

This might be due to the old entities existing in the entity registry...maybe try disabling the ones you don't want.

from env_canada.

it looks like the documentation is out of date because those were the entity id's listed however looking at my entity registry it seems the entity id's have been changed, I may make a PR to the docs if that is ok with you as it seems:

sensor.pop is now sensor.chance_of_percip
sensor.text_summary is now sensor.forecast
sensor.precip_yesterday is now sensor.precipitation_yesterday
sensor.wind_dir is now sensor.wind_direction
sensor.low_temp is now sensor.low_temperature
sensor.dewpoint is now sensor.dew_point
and sensor.high_temp is now sensor.high_temperature
