The DWD Global Radiation Home Assistant Integration is a custom component that allows users to integrate global radiation data from the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) into their Home Assistant setup. This integration provides real-time and forecast radiation data, enabling enhanced home automation based on weather conditions.
- Measurements: Access current global radiation measurements from DWD. Measurements are updated every 15 minutes.
- Forecasts: The data provides forecasts in 1-hour steps up to 17 hours into the future. Forecasts are updated hourly.
- Configurable: Easy setup and configuration through the Home Assistant UI.
This integration requires the DWD Global Radiation API Server add-on to be installed. The add-on provides the necessary API services for the integration to work correctly, especially the functionality of the netCDF4 Python package, which is essential for processing DWD data.
